Assisted living facilities (ALFs) are non-medical residential settings that provide or coordinate personal and health care services, 24-hour supervision, care, and assistance to four or more adults who are aged, infirm or disabled
Assisted living facilities are not nursing homes. Nursing homes are facilities in which the primary function is the provision of continuous nursing and health-related services for treatment and in-patient care of two or more non-related individuals. The Department of Health regulates nursing homes.
Adult day care facilities, which must be licensed if operated for profit and may be licensed if non-profit, are non-residential facilities that provide a variety of health, social, and related support services in a protective setting during part of the day, to four or more aged, infirm, or disabled adults who reside elsewhere.
