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.

The facility has six inspection reports on file with four total deficiencies, all Type B (potential for harm) and zero Type A (actual harm). One complaint has been investigated during the period on record. The most recent inspection occurred on February 13, 2025.
