Community Care Licensing District Offices monitor Continuing Care Retirement Communities (CCRC) to ensure compliance with California's Community Care Licensing Laws, regarding physical plant accommodations, care and supervision, and quality of service.
Continuing Care Contracts Branch has the primary responsibility for overseeing continuing care contract providers.
