Residential Care Home

Residential Care Home for the Elderly (RCFE) 

Residential care homes offer a home-like atmosphere, private homes adapted to provide assisted care services, licensed by the Start of California.  This facility would be for a smaller group of residents, typically ranging from 4 to 15 beds. These homes offer a more intimate, home-like community feeling and provide both short-term and long-term care.

Typical residential care home services include:

• Comfortable private or semi-private rooms
• Hygiene assistance, bathing, toileting, dressing
• Ambulation assistance, transfers, exercise programs
• Total care needs
• Daily home-cooked meals and snacks
• Housekeeping and laundry service
• Medication management
• Social programs and activities
• Transportation to appointments and events

Some residential care homes employ or are operated by nurses and can offer care comparable to that in a nursing home, often filling the gap between independent living and nursing homes. There are also residential care homes that specialize in memory care.  If your loved one is more of a private individual, this type of home will work best!
