For which type of care is the Extended Congregate Care Licence intended?

The Extended Congregate Care Licence is specifically designed for assisted living settings. This type of care provides a higher level of support and services for individuals who may require assistance with daily living activities or have more complex health needs. Assisted living facilities with this license can offer a range of personalized care options, including assistance with medication management, mobility support, and health monitoring, allowing residents to maintain as much independence as possible while still receiving the necessary care.

The other options relate to care environments that have different regulatory requirements and focus on distinct populations or needs. Short-term rehabilitation typically involves temporary care to help patients recover from surgery or illness, while critical care units specialize in providing intensive medical care for patients with severe health issues. Pediatric care facilities are tailored to meet the needs of children, often addressing their specific developmental and health care requirements. Each of these options operates outside the scope of what the Extended Congregate Care Licence encompasses.
