I'm still wanting to look into facilities for my MIL, and I know there are some small ones with only a few residents. I don't know how to find them, especially closer to our rural area. She receives SSA and VA Aid & Attendance funds. We are about to start with a home caregiver, but I want to prepare for the day when she will need to have 24 hour care.

I found 2 useful online resources:
1. I contacted alz.org by calling their 800 number and talked to someone, she sent me a list that does include small board and care homes that take memory care patients.
2. I went on nextdoor and did a search and found out lots of people have asked the neighbors if anyone knows any place for their parents. I got a ton of information that way, people told me about places that they have placed their parents or spouse. Or if they live on the same block with a care home and the owner is nice, etc.
Search for RCFE.
Sometimes called a six-pack, because has up to 6 residents.
Wishing you good luck. People often overlook the availability of these homes, and they are best for some people who prefer a smaller more homelike community.
I thought you used to be able to limit by capacity, but I don't see it now. You can still look at each one to see its capacity after you search by city or zip code.
