Classification of Accommodations of collective dwellings

• 1 - Health care and related facilities

1.1 - Hospitals

This category includes institutions, licensed to be a hospital, providing medical or surgical diagnosis and treatment to the ill or injured. Also included in this category are institutions that are not licensed as hospitals but provide continuous medical, nursing and professional health care provision for persons who are not independent in all activities of daily living, such as chronically ill persons. Facilities, not licensed as hospitals, which are specifically for elderly persons are excluded from this category. Included are general hospitals, specialty hospitals, chronic care or long-term care hospitals, rehabilitation hospitals, and other types of licensed hospitals. Excluded are hospitals located within another collective dwelling, such as a hospital in a correctional facility or a hospital on a military base. The residents of these hospitals are counted as residents of the larger collective dwelling.
