Is “board and care” different from “assisted living” in Downey?
The label follows licensed capacity, not a different license. Of Downey's 14 licensed homes, 9 are small board-and-care homes licensed for 6 or fewer residents, 1 is a mid-size home licensed for 7–15, and 4 are larger assisted-living communities licensed for 16 or more (CDSS license-capacity records, refreshed August 2, 2026). All hold the same state RCFE license.
Does Medi-Cal help pay for assisted living in Downey?
