Assisted Living Facility Definition and Purpose

An assisted living facility (ALF) is designed to provide personal care services in the least restrictive and most home-like environment. These facilities can range in size from one resident to several hundred and may offer a wide variety of personal and nursing services designed specifically to meet an individual's personal needs.

Facilities are licensed to provide routine personal care services under a "Standard" license, or more specific services under the authority of "Specialty" licenses. ALFs meeting the requirements for a Standard license may also qualify for specialty licenses. The purpose of "Specialty Licenses" is to allow individuals to "age in place" in familiar surroundings that can adequately and safely meet their continuing healthcare needs.

Nursing Services – Services are limited in an assisted living facility because it is not a nursing home. Services that are allowed are provided by a third-party provider (Nurse, Physical Therapist, Home Health, Hospice, etc.)

Specialty Licenses - There are three specialty licenses:

1. Limited Mental Health (LMH) – this license allows operators to provide services to those who have been declared to be a mental health resident.

2. Limited Nursing Services (LNS) – this license allows operators to admit residents who have a stage two bedsore and retain at the premises for up to 30 minutes.

3. Extended Congregate Care (ECC) – this license allows operators to allow residents to age in place with third party nursing services.
