About these results

Most info first counts what we have on file for each home: a price the home listed, photos, its website, the languages spoken, an opening it reported, its tour hours and details it added to its page. Homes with more of these come first. Homes with the same number go nearest first.

The search area includes nearby places. Counts describe records, not openings. Care and costs still need confirmation with each home.

Read the county overview

Monterey County has 39 state-licensed residential care homes for the elderly (RCFEs) on the California Department of Social Services licensing record, last refreshed October 27, 2026: 22 small board-and-care homes (licensed for 6 or fewer residents), 3 mid-size (7–15), and 14 larger assisted-living communities (16 or more). None appear on Medi-Cal's Assisted Living Waiver participant list (DHCS as of October 1, 2026). Countywide, assisted living typically runs $6,000–$9,000/mo and small board-and-care homes $5,000–$8,000/mo (market ranges compiled June 2026); California's 2026 SSI/SSP payment standard is $1,626.07/month, of which a home may charge $1,444.07 for basic services: room, board, care and supervision.

Which cities in Monterey County have licensed care homes?

As of October 27, 2026, CDSS licensing records place Monterey County's 39 licensed residential care homes across 10 cities and communities. The 5 cities with three or more licensed homes are linked below with home counts — each city page lists every licensed home free, with capacity, care clearances, and inspection history.

Which kinds of care are licensed in Monterey County?

Each page below lists every licensed Monterey County home that matches that care type. CDSS licensing records, refreshed October 27, 2026; homes are listed alphabetically, never ranked. A care approval that is not on file is not a "no" — the record simply holds nothing today.

Does Monterey County have homes that take Medi-Cal?

Not through the Assisted Living Waiver here. The ALW — the Medi-Cal program that pays for assisted-living care services, though not room and board — has licensed participating homes in 15 California counties, and DHCS enrollment records as of October 1, 2026 list none in Monterey County. The statewide Medi-Cal page linked below names every participating county and home, free.

What does assisted living cost in Monterey County?

California's state record carries no per-home prices, so we publish county-level market context only: assisted living in Monterey County typically runs $6,000–$9,000/mo and small board-and-care homes $5,000–$8,000/mo (market ranges compiled June 2026 — planning bands, not quotes; confirm pricing with each home). For SSI recipients, California's 2026 SSI/SSP payment standard is $1,626.07 per month. A home may charge $1,444.07 of it for basic services (room, board, care and supervision), and $182 stays with the resident as a personal-needs allowance.

What do state inspections show for Monterey County care homes?

Recency, not ratings: state inspectors filed 83 inspection and complaint-investigation documents dated in the past 12 months, covering 36 of Monterey County's 39 licensed homes (CDSS facility records, retrieved October 27, 2026). We publish each home's documents on its own page — dated and verbatim, never scored — so open any home in the list above to read its record.
