Residential Care Facility for the Elderly (RCFE) · Memory Care
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

Aaa Care Haven Ii is a California-licensed Residential Care Facility for the Elderly (RCFE) with six beds, advertising memory care services. California Title 22 requires RCFEs serving residents with dementia to meet standards under §87705 and §87706, covering individualized care plans, staff training in dementia care, and appropriate supervision. CDSS records show no citations specifically under these dementia-care sections. The facility has two inspections on file through June 2024, with eight total deficiencies — all Type B (potential for harm) and none Type A (actual harm). No complaints appear in state records for the period on file. The small bed count means this is an intimate residential setting operated by Valley Havens, Llc.
