@Karen Margrave hey, my demographic is mostly seniors that I will screen, I have 3 bedrooms with 2 clients in each room. I plan to provide everything in the house along with meals with on site supervision for any assistance.
Boarding homes, co living arrangements basically are not required (in CA) to be licensed by the state, unless they are for medically dependent people. I think the OP is doing them for "independent living - active seniors". Even if they have medical conditions, they can have home health aids come in by their own arrangements and it won't require licensing for the property.
