Tennessee Senior Assisted Living Definition
Assisted care living facility (ACLF) means a building, establishment, complex, or distinct part thereof which accepts primarily aged persons for domiciliary care and which provides on site to its residents room, board, non-medical living assistance services appropriate to the residents' respective needs, and medical services as prescribed by each resident's treating physician, limited to the extent not covered by a physician's order to a home care organization and not actually provided by a home care organization.
An ACLF may directly provide such medical services as medication procedures, topicals, suppositories and injections (excluding intravenous) pursuant to a physician's order, and emergency response. All other skilled nursing services (parttime or intermittent nursing care, physical occupation and speech therapy, medical social services, medical supplies other than drugs and biologicals, and durable medical equipment) that a home care organization is licensed to provide may be provided in the facility only by a licensed home care organization, except for home health aide services.
Home for the aged: a home which accepts aged persons for relatively permanent, domiciliary care. It provides room, board, and personal services to one or more non-related persons. A home for the aged may be any building, section of a building, or distinct part of a building, a residence, a private home, a boarding home for the aged, or other place, either for profit or not, which provides, for a period exceeding 24 hours, housing, food services, and one or more personal services for one or more aged persons who are not related to the owner or administrator by blood or marriage. Homes for the aged must have agreements with a physician who is available to render care or who will come to the home to visit residents when necessary and with a nursing home that will accept its residents who must be discharged. |
