Read the county overview
Santa Barbara County has 96 state-licensed residential care homes for the elderly (RCFEs) on the California Department of Social Services licensing record, last refreshed October 27, 2026: 70 small board-and-care homes (licensed for 6 or fewer residents), 4 mid-size (7–15), and 22 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 kinds of care are licensed in Santa Barbara County?
Each page below lists every licensed Santa Barbara 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 Santa Barbara 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 Santa Barbara County. The statewide Medi-Cal page linked below names every participating county and home, free.

What does assisted living cost in Santa Barbara County?
California's state record carries no per-home prices, so we publish county-level market context only: assisted living in Santa Barbara 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 Santa Barbara County care homes?
Recency, not ratings: state inspectors filed 154 inspection and complaint-investigation documents dated in the past 12 months, covering 90 of Santa Barbara County's 96 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.
