# Memory care in Calaveras County: no dementia-care approvals on file

Calaveras County has 2 state-licensed residential care homes on the California Department of Social Services licensing record (retrieved September 27, 2026), and none currently holds a dementia-care approval on file. "Not on file" is the record's honest state — it is not a "no"; a home's approval status can change, and the county directory below lists every licensed home either way.

## What does a dementia-care approval mean on a California license?

California licenses residential care homes (RCFEs) as non-medical housing with care. A home that advertises or provides care for residents with dementia must first meet the state’s additional dementia-care requirements, which then appear on its licensing record. On this site that record flag is shown exactly as the state holds it: approved, or "not on file" — never a quality score, and never a "no" inferred from silence.
