Join 6Beds

6Beds promotes affordable, quality care for frail California seniors and adults with disabilities in a safe home environment.

Our members operate residential communities licensed by the Department of Social Services in a smaller setting of six residents or less. Operators exceeding six beds require special use permits; however those that serve six or fewer residents are protected by the Fair Housing Act of 1988 allowing people with disabilities to live in residential neighborhoods and in family-type settings – which led to the origin of our organization’s name, 6Beds.

Our members are comprised of operators of residential care facilities for the elderly (RCFE) and adult residential care facilities (ARF) serving individuals with developmental disabilities and/or mental illness.
