469 NAC 3-004.01A4

An Assisted Living facility provides accommodation and board and care (e.g., personal assistance in feeding, dressing, and other essential daily living activities) for four or more individuals not related to the owner, occupant, manager, or administrator. These individuals are unable to sufficiently or properly care for themselves or manage their own affairs because of illness, disease, injury, deformity, disability, or physical or mental infirmity.

Individuals residing in Assisted Living facilities do not require the daily services of licensed, registered, or practical nurses. However, staff in an assisted living facility may assist the individuals residing there in taking routine oral or external medication and also provide for storage and handling of the medication.

The monthly standard for an Assisted Living Facility includes an allowance for personal needs of the client. (See 469-000-211 for the payment standard.)
