The 23 facilities in San Diego
Every facility below has agreed to accept Assisted Living Waiver payment, which is what “takes Medi-Cal” means for assisted living in California. The list comes from the Department of Health Care Services’ own open dataset, verified 2026-08-29. It is a record of participation, not a ranking, and nothing here is a recommendation.
Read this before you call
- Participation is not availability. Every facility here has agreed to accept Assisted Living Waiver payment. None of them is promising an open bed. Capacity moves week to week and the only way to know is to ask.
- Waiver participation is not memory-care approval. A facility that takes the waiver still needs separate CDSS secured-perimeter approval before it can legally admit a resident who wanders. Ask for that record specifically, on the first call.
- The waiver does not cover room and board. It covers the care services. The resident contributes their income toward rent, so ask each facility what its room-and-board charge actually is.
- You need an approved waiver slot first. A facility cannot admit you on the waiver until DHCS and a Care Coordination Agency have approved eligibility and a slot is available.
- Records are from the DHCS open dataset, accessed 2026-08-29. Source identifiers are not verified state license numbers. If a listing is wrong, the authoritative version is the DHCS list itself, linked in the sources below.

How to read this list for San Diego
Source-reported capacity is not an independent license check or a count of open beds. Confirm the state license, care services, staffing and current availability directly before making a decision.
Where San Diego sits in San Diego County
Families searching in San Diego usually have more geographic room than they assume, and the waiver does not care which city you land in. The full county-by-county list shows what else is within reach, which matters because a facility with an open bed twenty minutes away beats a waitlist around the corner.
