What assisted living means in California

California licenses assisted living as Residential Care Facilities for the Elderly: housing chosen by people 60 or older where care and supervision, protective supervision or personal care is provided based on residents' needs (California Health & Safety Code §1569.2). You can check any home's license and inspection history on the CDSS Care Facility Search.
