Classification of Accommodations of collective dwellings

1.5 - Residential care facilities such as group homes for persons with disabilities and addictions

This category includes residential facilities that provide accommodations with health care and/or social assistance services, such as counselling, supervision or custody, personal support or assisted living care, diagnosis or treatment. Generally, residential care facilities provide a level of care that is below that found in hospitals. Included are group homes or institutions for the physically disabled, treatment centres, group homes for children and youth, and group homes or institutions for people with psychiatric disorders or developmental disabilities. Excluded are facilities that accommodate elderly residents who require services, and facilities for persons who need shelter or assistance. These facilities have a separate collective type category. Private dwellings with foster children are also excluded and are still considered private dwellings.
