Assisted living center (ALC)

Residences that provide help with the activities of daily living (ADLs) and that emphasize residents’ privacy and choice. Residents typically have private locking rooms (only shared by choice) and bathrooms. Personal care services are available on a 24-hour-a-day basis, licensed as residential care facilities or as rest homes. The size of an ALC may range from 3 to 15 residents to as large as 600 to 800 residents. Also called assisted living facility (ALF), adult foster care, domiciliary care, or residential care.
