Assisted Living & Board and Care in Mira Loma, CA — 3 Licensed Homes

Updated October 2026

Mira Loma is home to 3 licensed senior care homes, with 2 of them being board and care homes licensed for 6 or fewer residents and 1 larger assisted living community licensed for 7 or more residents. Across these 3 homes, the total licensed capacity is 32 beds, spanning a range from 6 to 20 residents per facility. For families beginning a search, this split between smaller and larger options means weighing different factors as you narrow your choice. A smaller board and care home may feel different from a larger community in terms of daily routines and how activities and services are organized, and families often find it useful to visit several homes to see which environment suits their parent or partner. RCFEs—Residential Care Facilities for the Elderly—are the state license category that covers both board and care homes and larger assisted living communities operating in Mira Loma. The California Department of Social Services oversees these facilities and maintains public records of their license status and inspection reports through the CDSS Community Care Licensing Division, which families can access to evaluate a home's regulatory history before scheduling a visit. This transparency allows you to research each home's standing and make an informed decision about which ones warrant a closer look. When comparing homes, visiting in person and asking questions directly of the staff and operators is essential. Families commonly inquire about the daily schedule and rhythm of activities, recreational and community outings, meal preparation and dining options, what is bundled into monthly fees, and how the home responds when a resident's circumstances change. These conversations help clarify what each home can offer and whether it aligns with your parent or partner's preferences and requirements. Paying for assisted living in Mira Loma takes several forms. If your family member is a veteran or surviving spouse who qualifies, Aid and Attendance benefits through the VA may help fund care expenses. Private payment and long-term care insurance are also common sources of funding for families. 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. In Mira Loma, 1 home on this directory is marked as accepting the Assisted Living Waiver. This directory identifies 1 home in Mira Loma as a waiver participant.

What's the difference between board & care, assisted living, and a nursing home?

Board and care homes and assisted living communities are both licensed in California as Residential Care Facilities for the Elderly and help with daily activities like bathing, dressing, and meals. Board and care homes are small, usually a converted house with 6 or fewer residents; assisted living communities are larger buildings. Nursing homes (skilled nursing facilities) are licensed separately by the California Department of Public Health and provide skilled medical care.

Does Medi-Cal or the Assisted Living Waiver pay for care in Mira Loma?

Regular Medi-Cal does not pay for room and board in assisted living or board and care. Riverside County is one of the California counties where the Medi-Cal Assisted Living Waiver (ALW) operates, which can help pay for care services at participating homes. Enrollment is limited and only some homes participate; homes marked with the ALW badge on this page have been identified as accepting it.

How much does senior care cost in Mira Loma?

Costs vary by home size, level of care, and room type, so the most reliable figure is a written quote from each home. Ask what the monthly fee includes, how it changes if care needs increase, and whether there are move-in or level-of-care fees. Private funds, long-term care insurance, and VA Aid and Attendance are common ways families pay.
