How California regulates RCFEs

California licenses Residential Care Facilities for the Elderly (RCFEs) under Health & Safety Code §1569, administered by the Community Care Licensing Division (CCLD) of CDSS. An RCFE can provide non-medical personal care assistance; a memory care unit operates under the same RCFE license with a CCLD secured-unit endorsement. For higher-acuity needs, a Skilled Nursing Facility (SNF) licensed under the California Department of Public Health (CDPH) is required. Verify any RCFE license at ccld.dss.ca.gov — it's free and takes minutes.
