Board and Care Homes in California

Common questions about senior care in California

How many board and care homes are there in California?

AssistedFinder lists 6,899 board and care homes in California, licensed for a combined 40,526 residents.

Are there small residential care homes in California?

Yes. 6899 of the California facilities on this listing are licensed for six residents or fewer — the small board-and-care format, typically a converted house with a handful of residents and a higher staff-to-resident ratio than a large community.

Is memory care available in California?

Yes. 4148 California facilities offer memory care for residents with Alzheimer's or another form of dementia. Memory care is an authorization a facility holds rather than a separate building type, so assisted living communities and small board-and-care homes both appear on the memory care listing.
