What is an RCFE with Memory Care?

A Residential Care Facility for the Elderly (RCFE) is a non-medical residential care home licensed by California CDSS under Health & Safety Code §1560. Residents receive help with daily living activities such as bathing, dressing, and medication management. An RCFE with a Memory Care designation is additionally required by California Title 22 (§87705 and §87706) to provide specialized staff training in dementia care, individualized care plans for residents with cognitive impairment, and appropriate supervision protocols — requirements that go beyond a standard RCFE license.

Memory care context

The Ivy at Berkeley is a California-licensed RCFE with 138 beds and operator-advertised memory care services, though memory care is not formally designated in CDSS licensing data. California Title 22 requires RCFEs serving dementia residents to meet standards under §87705 and §87706, covering individualized care plans, staff training in dementia care, and appropriate supervision. CDSS records show four inspections on file with the most recent occurring November 5, 2025. The facility has zero deficiencies cited across all inspections — no Type A citations (actual harm) and no Type B citations (potential for harm). No dementia-specific citations under §87705 or §87706 appear in the inspection history. No complaints are on file with the state during the period covered by available records.

Questions to ask on your tour

Based on Ivy at Berkeley, the's state inspection record.

  1. With 138 licensed beds, how does the facility organize memory care residents separately from other RCFE residents, and is there a secured area specifically for dementia care?

  2. California Title 22 §87705 requires dementia-specific staff training — how do you document and verify that all direct-care staff have completed the required training before working with memory care residents?

  3. The facility is operated by SHP IV MS Berkeley LLC and Oakmont Management Group LLC — who is the on-site administrator responsible for day-to-day operations, and how long have they been in that role?

  4. The most recent state inspection was November 5, 2025 — what were the primary areas reviewed during that inspection, and were there any informal findings that did not result in formal deficiencies?

  5. Since memory care is advertised but not formally designated in CDSS licensing data, what specific care protocols distinguish your memory care program from standard RCFE services?
