What a home like this is
A home of this size is still a residential care facility for the elderly (RCFE), but larger than a typical six-bed board and care. Homes with seven to fifteen beds often have more staff on each shift and a few more shared spaces, while keeping a smaller, home-like feel than a large 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.
