The most up-to-date CDSS license forms library — with guidance CDSS doesn't give you.

Because CDSS gives you the form and no context. This library adds four things CDSS doesn't: (1) monthly re-verification so you're always on the current version — CDSS revises without notice, and stale forms are a common audit finding; (2) plain-English guidance on what each form is, who fills it out, when to file it, and what happens if you skip it; (3) organization by facility type so you only see what applies to your license (RCFE, ARF, GH, or STRTP); and (4) on-demand RCFE consultant access when the guidance isn't enough. cdss.ca.gov is the source. This library is the guide.

Yes. Every form is checked against the current CDSS Forms and Publications index monthly, and the header at the top of this page shows the last verification date. CDSS revises forms periodically without much fanfare — we update the library within days of a revision, and every card carries a "Verified" date badge so you can see at a glance you're working with the current version.

Yes — email our team at manager@123ceu.com with your question and a real person replies, usually within one business day. Free and no obligation. If your question is beyond a quick email — pre-audit prep, corrective-action planning, complex resident-level judgment calls — RCFE administrators can book an on-demand RCFE consultant directly.

One capture per session unlocks every form for 30 days. We ask for the basics — admin name, facility name, phone, and email — so we can notify you if a form you downloaded gets revised by CDSS. That's it. No spam, no daily newsletter, no reselling your info.

Every facility type needs the Universal forms — application, personnel, health screening, personal rights, emergency plan, incident reports. Then you add the facility-type-specific set: RCFE for elders 60+, ARF for adults 18–59, Group Home for youth 0–17, and STRTP for short-term therapeutic care. Filter by facility type above to see only the forms that apply to your license.

Fire clearance is required at initial licensing and any time the fire marshal or CDSS requires a re-inspection — most commonly during your license renewal cycle, after physical facility changes, or when your resident capacity changes. Your local fire authority sets the specific inspection cadence.

All facilities file LIC 624A (Death Report) within 24 hours. RCFEs also file the LIC 604 (Elder Death Report). Both are required — the general death report goes to Community Care Licensing, the elder-specific report is part of RCFE oversight.

Yes. Every employee, volunteer, and any adult resident subject to clearance goes through Live Scan fingerprinting using LIC 9163 (Live Scan Request) and LIC 9052 (Fingerprint Transmittal) before they have unsupervised access to the facility or residents. This is CACI + DOJ + FBI clearance and cannot be waived.

Both are personal-rights disclosures, but for different populations. LIC 604A is the RCFE version for elders 60+. LIC 613 is the ARF version for adults 18–59. LIC 613C is the Group Home version for children. Use the one that matches your license type.

Complete a CDSS-approved initial certification course (40 hours for RCFE, 35–40 hours depending on facility type), pass the state exam, and file LIC 9214 with your training log and Live Scan. You'll then renew every two years with continuing-education credits. Our 40-hour CEU package is CDSS-approved for both initial and continuing education.

Yes. Our 40-Hour Subscription gives administrators live and self-paced CEUs, on-demand compliance consulting, monthly meal plans, monthly activity calendars, caregiver training, and a member catalog for facility uniforms — everything a running facility needs on the back office side.

Please do. Bookmark it, email the link, print out the forms — the library exists so administrators and their teams have one clean place to grab what CDSS asks for. Every download stays free.
