Which care homes are licensed in San Diego?
As of August 2, 2026, the California Department of Social Services licensing record lists 179 residential care facilities for the elderly with an active license in San Diego (San Diego 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 San Diego?
The label follows licensed capacity, not a different license. Of San Diego's 179 licensed homes, 145 are small board-and-care homes licensed for 6 or fewer residents, 3 are mid-size homes licensed for 7–15, and 31 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 San Diego?
Yes — at participating homes, through Medi-Cal's Assisted Living Waiver (ALW), which pays for care services, not room and board. 22 of San Diego's 179 licensed homes appear on the DHCS ALW participant list, checked August 2, 2026; San Diego County has 73 participating homes in all. Participating homes carry a “Medi-Cal ALW” marker in the list above.
