What a home like this is
A board and care home is a licensed residential care facility for the elderly (RCFE) set in a regular house, with six or fewer residents. Residents get help with bathing, dressing, medication and meals in a quiet, family-style setting. For many families it is the most personal and most affordable alternative to a large assisted living community.
What it may cost
Board and care homes in California typically charge $3,000 to $6,000 a month, depending mostly on how much hands-on care is needed. Every home sets its own rates, so the only way to know is to ask.
