Assisted living communities are designed for older adults who want to maintain their independence while getting help with daily activities like bathing, dressing, and medication management. Residents live in private or semi-private apartments and share common dining, activity, and social spaces. Staffing is available around the clock, but the environment feels more like a home than a hospital. Most assisted living communities offer three daily meals, housekeeping, transportation to appointments, and a calendar of social programs. Unlike skilled nursing facilities, assisted living is not a medical setting — residents with complex clinical needs may need to transition to a higher level of care. California Residential Care Facilities for the Elderly (RCFEs) are licensed by the Department of Social Services and must meet state standards for staffing, safety, and resident rights.
