107 Residential Care Homes near San Carlos, CA

Last Updated: 2/21/25

Residential care homes in San Carlos may appeal to seniors who value smaller, more close-knit communities and many opportunities for socialization. San Carlos care homes typically take in fewer residents, meaning older adults know each resident in the home and develop strong friendships.

Older-adult care homes vary more than other options for senior living in San Carlos, so families can choose from a wide range of prices, amenities, and services. A Place for Mom will work with you to understand the cost of care homes. From there, we’ll help you find the right fit, whether you’re staying on a budget or searching for luxury retirement communities.


You may also consider nearby communities such as Hayward, San Mateo or Palomar Park.

I love Golden Care but having issue with A Place for Mom. Golden Care is great and I'm pleased, but I went on my own to the facility, not through A Place for Mom.

Millbrae Paradise Retirement Home
5.0

We have been very pleased with Millbrae Paradise. We chose this facility because the lady who runs the place speaks the same language my mothers does. The room sizes here are huge, she has 2 sets of drawers, a big screen tv, and a bed. I would definitely recommend them to others who are looking. It has been a great fit for her needs.

Discover the many ways to pay for senior living

Planning ahead can better position you to make good choices for your loved one’s care in the future. But if your aging family member needs care now, there are ways to finance the cost of long-term care through a combination of approaches.

What are care homes?

Residential care homes are houses in residential neighborhoods that are equipped, adapted, and staffed to care for a small number of residents, usually between two and 10. Like assisted living communities, staff at care homes typically help residents with activities of daily living, including bathing, dressing, and medication management. Although residential care homes vary significantly depending on the community, services usually include:

  • Help with personal care
  • Medication management
  • Mobility assistance
  • Nutritious meals
  • Social activities and outings
  • Housekeeping
  • Laundry
