Residential Care for the Elderly (RCFE) in California is intended for older adults who require assistance with daily activities or ongoing supervision in a licensed residential setting. Eligibility is typically determined through an assessment that reviews physical condition, recent health changes, and the level of support needed to maintain daily routines. Individuals may be appropriate for RCFE care when one or more of the following apply:
- Have experienced repeated falls or ongoing balance concerns
- Have been recently discharged from a hospital or medical facility
- Need ambulation support due to unsteady gait or mobility limitations
- Need transportation assistance for medical appointments or scheduled services
- Need help with meal preparation or regular nutrition routines
- Need support managing or administering medications
Eligibility is reviewed to ensure care needs align with California RCFE regulations, with clarification available by contacting us for discussion.
