Which care homes are licensed in Palm Desert?
As of October 27, 2026, the California Department of Social Services licensing record lists 32 residential care facilities for the elderly with an active license in Palm Desert (Riverside County). Each appears in the full alphabetical list above with its licensed capacity, license status, state-recorded care clearances, and a link to its complete state record on this site.
Is “board and care” different from “assisted living” in Palm Desert?
The label follows licensed capacity, not a different license. Of Palm Desert's 32 licensed homes, 25 are small board-and-care homes licensed for 6 or fewer residents, 2 are homes licensed for 7–15, and 5 are larger assisted-living communities licensed for 16 or more (CDSS license-capacity records, refreshed October 27, 2026). All hold the same state RCFE license.
Does Medi-Cal help pay for assisted living in Palm Desert?
Possibly, but not in Palm Desert itself: no Palm Desert home appears on the DHCS Assisted Living Waiver participant list, checked October 27, 2026. The waiver — Medi-Cal's program that pays for assisted-living care services, not room and board — does operate in Riverside County, where 120 licensed homes participate. The county Medi-Cal page below lists every one.
