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 Phelan are looking at the same category of care; the difference here is six residents instead of sixty.

Licensing & terminology

Looking for an RCFE in Phelan? 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 Phelan cannot give you a license number, it is not a licensed RCFE.

Assisted living, board and care — same license

Families in Phelan 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.
