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

Dimond Care II 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 three inspections on file with the most recent conducted on December 10, 2024. No deficiencies have been cited, no Type A or Type B violations are recorded, and no complaints appear in state records. The absence of citations reflects the inspection history on file but does not guarantee future compliance.

Questions to ask on your tour

Based on Dimond Care Ii's state inspection record.

  1. With only 6 beds and memory care advertised but not formally designated in CDSS records, what documentation can you provide showing compliance with California Title 22 §87705 requirements for dementia-specific care plans and staff training?

  2. The most recent CDSS inspection was December 10, 2024 — can you walk me through what inspectors reviewed during that visit and any informal feedback they provided?

  3. As a 6-bed facility operated by Dimond Care LLC, who provides direct care during overnight hours, and what happens if that caregiver is unavailable?

  4. California §87706 requires secure outdoor areas for dementia residents — does this facility have a secured outdoor space, and how is resident safety maintained if a resident attempts to leave?

  5. What is your process for conducting and documenting the initial and ongoing assessments required under §87705 for residents with cognitive impairment?
