Is “board and care” different from “assisted living” in Ontario?
The label follows licensed capacity, not a different license. Of Ontario's 8 licensed homes, 4 are small board-and-care homes licensed for 6 or fewer residents, 1 is a mid-size home licensed for 7–15, and 3 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 Ontario?
Yes — at participating homes, through Medi-Cal's Assisted Living Waiver (ALW), which pays for care services, not room and board. 1 of Ontario's 8 licensed homes appear on the DHCS ALW participant list, checked August 2, 2026; San Bernardino County has 57 participating homes in all. Participating homes carry a “Medi-Cal ALW” marker in the list above.
