Seniors Feel Home Like With Smaller Senior Housing Community
Many seniors and their families prefer the homelike feel of a smaller senior housing community. With 247 different senior housing license types nationwide—about 60 specific to facilities with 20 or less beds—identifying these communities often proves arduous. Smaller communities fall under the umbrella category of “Assisted Living”, and in many states are not distinguished from larger assisted living communities.
Such is the case in states like California and Colorado, where assisted living communities of all sizes are called “Residential Care Facilities for the Elderly” and “Assisted Living Residences” respectively. Senior housing license type names are more helpful in states such as Washington, where senior housing communities with no more than six residents are called “Adult Family Homes”.
The following are a few general tips for quickly identifying small senior housing communities from their senior housing license type:
- Senior housing license types specific to small senior housing communities often include phrases such as “Family Home”, “Foster Care”, “Personal Care”, “Group Home” or “Boarding Care”.
- Some states that use general names such as “Assisted living” as licensing designations will also specify community size. Some do so overtly with words like “Small” (Michigan), while others use code such as “Type-I” (Hawaii).
- Senior Housing features a License Type Reference which provides a detailed definition of all 247 license types categorized by state. The resource proves especially useful when searching for housing in an unfamiliar area.
Deciphering license types for senior housing in the US can be a convoluted process due to the lack of standardization from state to state. When searching for a senior housing community in an area with which you are unfamiliar, it’s often a good choice to contact the local Area Agency on Aging which can be found through www.n4a.org.

how can l report resident abuse in a nursing home?
I am a cna(certified nursing assistant)

I have days off and when l come back to work. People have sores and bruises. They are falsifying documents to make it read different than what actually happened. When l report it to them (chain of command) .Nothing is done . l have been told by my don. “l don’t want to hear it”. “you are starting to p*** me off” and have been told to lie to the government during a state survey. lf anyone one has any advice of who to contact in the state of michigan please let me know.
