New Hampshire Senior Living Communities

"Residential care facilities, whether or not they are private homes or other structures built or adapted for the purpose of providing residential care, offering services beyond room and board to two or more individuals who may or may not be elderly or suffering from illness, injury, deformity, infirmity, or other permanent or temporary physical or mental disability. Such facilities include those:

1. Offering residents home-like living arrangements and social or health services including, but not limited to, providing supervision, medical monitoring, assistance in daily living, protective care or monitoring and supervision of medications; or
    
2. Offering residents social, health, or medical services including, but not limited to, medical or nursing supervision, medical care or treatment, in addition to any services included under subparagraph (1). Such homes or facilities shall include, but not be limited to, nursing homes, sheltered care facilities, rest homes, residential care facilities, board and care homes, or any other location, however, named, whether owned publicly or privately or operated for profit or not."

The statute indicates that residential care requires a minimum of regulation and reflects the availability of assistance in personal and social activities with a minimum of supervision or health care, which can be provided in a home or homelike setting. Supported residential health care reflects the availability of social or health services, as needed, from appropriately trained or licensed individuals, who need not be employees of the facility, but residents shall not require nursing services complex enough to require 24-hour nursing supervision. Such facilities may also include short-term medical care for residents of the facility who may be convalescing from an illness and these residents shall be capable of self-evacuation. Supportive residential care serves residents who do not need 24-hour nursing care except on a short-term basis. Residents may need help with ADLs but must be able to evacuate with assistance. Residential care homes are a step below supported residential care facilities and provide supervision and some ADL assistance.

HB 1220 defines assisted living residences as any entity that provides housing and holds itself out, through marketing, advertising, or use of the term "assisted living" or a similar designation, as providing or arranging for personal assistance or any health-related or supportive service beyond room and board to one or more adults who are not related to the owner of the residence by blood or marriage.
