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

Assisted Graceful Living is a California-licensed Residential Care Facility for the Elderly (RCFE) with 6 beds, operated by Aging Living Care LLC. The facility advertises memory care services, though this designation is operator-stated rather than formally recorded 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 no citations specifically under §87705 or §87706. However, state inspection records reveal 17 total deficiencies across 5 inspections, including 10 Type A citations (actual harm to residents) and 7 Type B citations (potential for harm). The most recent inspection occurred on April 16, 2024. No complaints are on file with CDSS.

Questions to ask on your tour

Based on Assisted Graceful Living's state inspection record.

  1. State records show 10 Type A deficiencies, meaning actual harm to residents was documented — what were the specific circumstances of these citations, and what corrective actions were implemented?

  2. With 17 total deficiencies across 5 inspections, what systemic changes has the facility made since the April 2024 inspection to prevent recurring violations?

  3. As a 6-bed facility advertising memory care but without formal CDSS memory care designation, how do you ensure staff have completed the dementia-specific training required under California Title 22 §87705?

  4. Given the high ratio of Type A citations to total inspections, what is Aging Living Care LLC's quality assurance process for this location?

  5. What specific Title 22 sections were cited in the Type A deficiencies, and can you provide documentation showing each has been corrected?
