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

A Home of Our Own is a California-licensed Residential Care Facility for the Elderly (RCFE) with 6 beds. The operator advertises memory care services, though this designation is not formally recorded in CDSS licensing data. California Title 22 requires all RCFEs serving residents with dementia to comply with §87705 and §87706, which govern individualized care plans, staff training in dementia care, and appropriate supervision. CDSS records show five inspections on file with two total deficiencies — both classified as Type A (actual harm). No dementia-specific citations under §87705 or §87706 appear in the inspection history. No complaints have been filed. The most recent inspection was May 16, 2024.

Questions to ask on your tour

Based on A Home of Our Own's state inspection record.

  1. The inspection history shows two Type A deficiencies indicating actual harm occurred — what were the circumstances of each citation, and what changes were implemented afterward?

  2. With only 6 licensed beds and memory care advertised, what dementia-specific training has the operator Emily Fekete and any staff completed beyond the minimum Title 22 requirements?

  3. California §87705 requires individualized care plans for dementia residents — can you show a sample care plan template and explain how often plans are reviewed and updated?

  4. The most recent inspection was May 2024 — what operational changes, if any, have been made since that inspection?

  5. How does this 6-bed home handle overnight supervision and emergency response when a resident experiences a medical crisis or behavioral episode?
