Most ACF's offer private rooms to residents with either private or shared
bathrooms. The type of ACF which seniors live in are usually called "adult
homes" or "enriched housing" programs (see definition, below).
While some ACF's have nursing personnel on staff, and possibly a medical
director, they do not have the capacity to provide intensive medical
services.
ACF's are also the type of facility that run assisted living programs. The
definition of assisted living is included later in this section. In other
states, assisted living may be part of a different type of facility. Also in
other states, ACF's are sometimes referred to as "intermediate care" or
"board and care" homes.
