Key terms and definitions for families, planners, and providers
An RCFE is a California-licensed residential care facility that provides non-medical care and supervision for elderly residents. RCFEs include assisted living communities, board and care homes, and memory care facilities. They are regulated by the California Department of Social Services (DSS) and must meet minimum standards for staffing, safety, and resident rights. California has over 7,000 licensed RCFEs.
Discharge planning is the process of coordinating a patient's transition from a hospital to the next appropriate level of care — such as a skilled nursing facility, assisted living community, rehabilitation center, or home care. Hospital discharge planners (typically social workers or case managers) assess patient needs, identify suitable facilities, and arrange the transfer. Effective discharge planning reduces hospital readmission rates and improves patient outcomes.
Assisted living provides help with activities of daily living (ADLs) like bathing, dressing, and medication management for seniors who are generally cognitively intact. Memory care is a specialized form of assisted living designed specifically for individuals with Alzheimer's disease, dementia, or other cognitive impairments. Memory care facilities offer secured environments, specialized staff training, structured routines, and cognitive therapy programs. Memory care typically costs 20-30% more than standard assisted living.
Sober living homes (also called recovery residences) are structured, substance-free housing for individuals who have completed primary treatment and are transitioning back to independent living. Residents follow house rules, attend support groups, and may work or attend school. Residential rehab (rehabilitation) centers provide active clinical treatment including detox, individual and group therapy, and medical supervision. Rehab is typically short-term (30-90 days) while sober living can be longer-term (3-12+ months).
A skilled nursing facility (SNF) provides 24-hour medical care by licensed nurses under physician supervision. SNFs serve patients who need a higher level of medical care than what assisted living or board and care homes can provide — such as post-surgical recovery, wound care, IV therapy, or ventilator management. In California, SNFs are licensed by the Department of Public Health (CDPH) and many accept Medicare and Medi-Cal.
Board and care homes (also called residential care homes) are small, family-style residences that provide room, meals, and personal care for typically 6 or fewer residents. In California, they operate under RCFE licensing. Board and care homes offer a more intimate, home-like setting compared to larger assisted living facilities, often at a lower cost ($2,500-$4,500/month). Many board and care homes in California accept Medi-Cal.
SLINQ is a healthcare technology platform that connects families, hospitals, and care facilities through real-time availability data and commission-free matching. Unlike traditional placement agencies that earn $3,000–$12,000 per referral from facilities, SLINQ operates on a subscription model — eliminating financial incentives that can compromise care recommendations. Our goal is simple: help every family find the right care, as quickly as possible, with full transparency.
Families use SLINQ to search for senior care facilities — including assisted living, memory care, board and care, and skilled nursing — with real-time availability, transparent pricing, and zero cost. Every search result is based on clinical fit and availability, never on who pays the highest referral fee.
Hospital discharge planners and social workers use SLINQ to accelerate post-acute placements. Our platform integrates with Epic and other EHR systems via SMART on FHIR, enabling one-click placement workflows that reduce average placement time from days to hours while maintaining full HIPAA compliance.
Facility owners list on SLINQ for a flat monthly subscription instead of paying per-referral commissions. This predictable cost model can reduce acquisition spending by 90% or more compared to traditional placement agencies, while connecting facilities with high-intent families and discharge planners.
Recovery housing and ancillary providers also list on SLINQ, creating a comprehensive care ecosystem where families can find not just facilities, but the full range of services — from sober living homes to home health agencies, transportation, and more.
Most senior care directories are static lists updated monthly or quarterly. By the time a family contacts a facility, the listed availability may be weeks out of date. SLINQ solves this with real-time bed availability that facilities update directly. When you see a bed is available on SLINQ, it actually is — saving families and discharge planners from the frustrating cycle of calling facilities only to learn they're full.
Our personalized care finder looks at your specific care needs, location, and budget to surface the most relevant options first. Unlike a human advisor who might know 50–100 facilities, our system evaluates your situation against every verified facility in our network — so you see options you might otherwise never discover.
