Assisted Living


    The North Carolina General Assembly has defined assisted living residence to mean “any group housing and services program for two or more unrelated adults, by whatever name it is called, that makes available, at a minimum, one meal a day and housekeeping services and provides personal care services directly or through a formal written agreement with one or more licensed home care or hospice agencies. The Department of Human Resources may allow nursing service exceptions on a case-by-case basis. Settings in which services are delivered may include self-contained apartment units or single or shared room units with private or area baths.” North Carolina recognizes three types of assisted living residences: adult care homes, group homes for developmentally disabled adults, and multi-unit assisted housing with services.
