Beloved Home Retreat
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.

Quick facts
Memory care context
Beloved Home Retreat is a California-licensed Residential Care Facility for the Elderly (RCFE) with 6 beds, operated by Stella and Byron Tripp. The facility advertises memory care services, though this designation appears in operator marketing rather than formal CDSS licensing records. California Title 22 requires all RCFEs serving residents with dementia to comply with §87705 and §87706, which govern dementia-specific care plans, staff training, and supervision standards. CDSS records show no citations under these dementia-care sections. However, the facility has 8 total deficiencies across 6 inspections, including 2 Type A citations (actual harm to residents) and 6 Type B citations (potential for harm). The most recent inspection occurred on October 22, 2025. No complaints are on file with CDSS.
