About these results

Most info first counts what we have on file for each home: a price the home listed, photos, its website, the languages spoken, an opening it reported, its tour hours and details it added to its page. Homes with more of these come first. Homes with the same number go nearest first.

The search area includes nearby places. Counts describe records, not openings. Care and costs still need confirmation with each home.

Is “board and care” different from “assisted living” in Martinez?

The label follows licensed capacity, not a different license. Of Martinez's 8 licensed homes, 7 are small board-and-care homes licensed for 6 or fewer residents, 0 are homes licensed for 7–15, and 1 is a larger assisted-living community licensed for 16 or more (CDSS license-capacity records, refreshed October 26, 2026). All hold the same state RCFE license.

Does Medi-Cal help pay for assisted living in Martinez?

Participating homes carry a “Medi-Cal ALW” marker in the list above.
