What can Westwood Commons Adult Home not provide under its license?
Not in the state's legal sense: Westwood Commons Adult Home holds a base adult care facility license with no ALR, EALR, SNALR or Assisted Living Program certification in the department's capacity report, so it can provide room, board, supervision and personal care but cannot keep residents who need nursing-home-level care.
Many families use the phrase assisted living for any residence like this, and that is fine in conversation. The legal difference shows up later: if a resident's needs grow past the adult home or enriched housing retention standards, a move is required. Ask the administrator what happens when a resident starts needing help transferring.
