Wrightwood Castle is licensed by the California Department of Social Services as a Residential Care Facility for the Elderly (RCFE #365530560) — the same license that covers assisted living communities and board and care homes across San Bernardino County. Families searching for assisted living, a board and care home, or a small RCFE near Helendale are looking at the same category of care; the difference here is six residents instead of sixty.
Licensing & terminology
Looking for an RCFE in Helendale? Here is what that means.
Licensed RCFE, not an unlicensed home
RCFE stands for Residential Care Facility for the Elderly — the license the California Department of Social Services issues to homes that provide non-medical care, supervision and personal assistance to adults 60 and over. Wrightwood Castle holds RCFE #365530560, and you can look that number up yourself on the state's public facility search before you ever come see us. If a home near Helendale cannot give you a license number, it is not a licensed RCFE.
How to verify an RCFE license →Assisted living, board and care — same license
Families in Helendale search for assisted living, board and care, senior care homes and RCFEs as if they were four different things. Under California law they all fall under the same RCFE license. The real difference is size: large assisted living communities run 60 to 200 apartments, while an assisted living board and care home like ours is licensed for six residents in an ordinary house.
Compare the level of care →A six-bed RCFE serving San Bernardino County
