Is “board and care” different from “assisted living” in Petaluma?
The label follows licensed capacity, not a different license. Of Petaluma's 15 licensed homes, 11 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 Petaluma?
Possibly, but not in Petaluma itself: no Petaluma home appears on the DHCS Assisted Living Waiver participant list, checked August 2, 2026. The waiver — Medi-Cal's program that pays for assisted-living care services, not room and board — does operate in Sonoma County, where 7 licensed homes participate. The county Medi-Cal page below lists every one.
