How to Become a Licensed Assisted Living Facility?
What is an Assisted Living Facility?
Assisted living facilities provide individualized health and personal care assistance in a homelike setting with an emphasis on personal dignity, autonomy, independence and privacy. Facilities can be large apartment-like settings or private residences. Services include meals, bathing, dressing, toileting and administering or supervising medication.
Assisted living facilities are licensed based on residents' physical and mental ability to evacuate the facility in an emergency and whether nighttime attendance is necessary,
There are two types: Type A & Type B
-
A Type A facility cares for residents who do not require routine attendance during sleeping hours and are capable of following directions in an emergency.
-
A Type B facility is for residents who require staff assistance to evacuate, are not capable of following directions in an emergency and require nighttime attendance.
