Assisted living means a coordinated array of supportive personal and health services, available 24 hours per day to residents who have been assessed to need these services, including residents who require formal long term care. Assisted living promotes a resident's self-direction and participation in decisions that emphasize individuality, privacy, dignity and homelike surroundings. Apartment units offer, at a minimum, one unfurnished room, a private bathroom, a kitchenette and a lockable door on the unit entrance.
Units are single or double occupancy.
Residential units in CPCHs are typically shared occupancy but have no more than two residents and have a lockable door on the unit entrance. These facilities were converted from previous settings such as Residential Health Care Facilities, Boarding Homes, or Nursing Facilities. This program will be provided only to individuals residing in publicly-subsidized housing. There is a clear difference between an ALP and other types of Assisted Living. It is not a separate facility, and there are a limited number of buildings in which an ALP is available.
