Is “board and care” different from “assisted living” in Santa Ana?
The label follows licensed capacity, not a different license. Of Santa Ana's 37 licensed homes, 31 are small board-and-care homes licensed for 6 or fewer residents, 0 are mid-size homes licensed for 7–15, and 6 are larger assisted-living communities licensed for 16 or more (CDSS license-capacity records, refreshed August 2, 2026).

Does Medi-Cal help pay for assisted living in Santa Ana?
