READ MORECalifornia's assisted living communities must be licensed by the Department of Social Services. To gain a license, the building must meet construction codes, the staff must be qualified to perform their roles and the facility must comply with fire safety and health and safety regulations. The department conducts surprise inspections and investigates complaints to ensure facilities are still license-worthy.
