Small home or large community?

A small home (often called board and care) is a house with up to six residents: quieter and more personal, with fewer activities. A large community has apartments, a dining room and a full calendar. Both hold the same California license.

Paying for assisted living

Medicare does not pay for assisted living, and Monterey County is not one of the 15 Medi-Cal Assisted Living Waiver counties. Most families pay privately. Your options
