Board and Care Senior Living Facilities in California
In California, “Board and Care” homes, also known as Residential Care Facilities for the Elderly (RCFEs), provide a warm, home-like environment for seniors who need assistance with daily activities but don’t require full-time medical care, as found in nursing homes. These smaller, community based facilities are typically located in residential neighborhoods and are regulated by the California Department of Social Services.
Key Features of Board and Care Homes
- Personalized, One-on-One Care: Board and Care homes offer a higher level of individualized, one-on-one attention compared to larger facilities, particularly for seniors with memory loss or cognitive decline. Residents receive tailored support with daily activities such as bathing, dressing, grooming, medication management, and mobility, based on their specific needs.
- Meals and Accommodations: Residents enjoy meals, snacks, and either private or shared rooms. Homes can accommodate special dietary requirements, ensuring nutritional needs are met according to personal preferences and health needs.
- Social Environment: Board and Care homes create a family-like atmosphere with social activities that foster companionship and a sense of belonging. This intimate, community- focused setting encourages close relationships, offering a more personal experience than larger assisted living facilities.
- Non-Medical Care and Hospice Services: Although these homes are not medical facilities, they coordinate visits from healthcare professionals, such as home health nurses. Many Board and Care homes also provide hospice services, offering compassionate end-of-life care in a familiar and supportive environment.
- Licensing and Regulation: Board and Care homes meet strict licensing requirements, uphold safety standards, and undergo regular inspections to ensure compliance with California’s senior care regulations. These homes are ideal for seniors who need more personalized, hands-on care in a cozy, supportive environment, with the added benefit of hospice services for end-of-life care when needed.
