Assisted Living & Board and Care in Jurupa Valley, CA — 10 Licensed Homes

Updated October 2026

When a parent or partner begins to need regular help with daily activities, the search for assisted living or board and care becomes an urgent practical task. Families in Jurupa Valley have 10 licensed homes to evaluate, with a total of 58 beds distributed across facilities. All 10 are board and care homes, each licensed for 4 to 6 residents. This means the licensed care landscape here consists entirely of smaller homes, typically set up in converted residential houses rather than larger campus-style communities. For families weighing their options, this uniformity in home size is the starting point: every facility they consider will operate at a similar scale, which shapes the questions they should ask about daily routines, activities, and how residents interact within the home.

The state licenses these homes as Residential Care Facilities for the Elderly through the California Department of Social Services, with regular inspections that create a public record families can access. When reviewing a particular home, families can look up its license status and inspection reports through the CDSS Community Care Licensing Division to understand how it meets state standards for safety, staffing, and operations. This public oversight gives families a concrete way to assess whether a facility is a right fit for their situation.

Choosing among these homes requires hands-on steps. Visit each one, observe the daily environment, and ask direct questions about the services offered, the costs, and how the home handles the specific needs of the person moving in. Request details about meal planning, activities, transportation, and how staff respond to residents' requests. Verify each home's current license status and review its inspection reports through the CDSS licensing database before making a final decision.

Paying for care in Jurupa Valley comes from several sources. Eligible veterans and their surviving spouses may access VA Aid and Attendance benefits to help support the cost of residential care. Many families draw on private savings or have long-term care insurance that covers assisted living expenses. Riverside County participates in California's Medi-Cal Assisted Living Waiver, which can help pay for care services (not room and board) at participating homes. Slots are limited and there is currently a waitlist; new applicants enroll through a Care Coordination Agency. Among the homes listed on this directory, 3 accept the waiver. Families should contact each home directly to learn what costs apply and which services are included in those costs.

Before moving a parent or partner into any home on this list, families should review that home's license status and inspection reports through the CDSS Community Care Licensing Division.
