Arizona Senior Assisted Living Definition

Assisted living facility means a residential care institution, including adult foster care, that provides or contracts to provide supervisory care services, personal care services, or directed care services on a continuing basis.

Supervisory care services mean general supervision, including daily awareness of resident functioning and continuing needs, the ability to intervene in a crisis, and assistance in the self-administration of prescribed medications.

Personal care services mean assistance with activities of daily living that can be performed by persons without professional skills or professional training and include the coordination or provision of intermittent nursing services and the administration of medication and treatments by a nurse who is licensed pursuant to Title 32, Chapter 15, or as otherwise provided by law.

Directed care services mean programs and services, including personal care services, provided to persons who are incapable of recognizing danger, summoning assistance, expressing need, or making basic care decisions. Assisted living homes serve ten or fewer residents and assisted living centers serve eleven or more residents. The Arizona Long Term Care Systems (ALTCS) Program contracts with adult foster care (four or fewer in which the provider lives in the home), assisted living homes (ten or fewer, owner is not a resident), and assisted living centers, but only centers that offer residential units (apartments).
