Starting a Congregate Living Health Facility
What is a Congregate Living Health Facility? Congregate Living Health Facility (CLHF) provides 24-hour skilled nursing and supportive care for a facility with 6 or less beds. CLHF is for physically-disabled persons, ventilator dependent persons, terminally ill persons with a life expectancy of six months or less, as well as persons who are catastrophically and severely disabled. Care at these types of facilities is typically less intense than the care provided by hospitals. However, the care at these facilities are often more care intensive than that of other skilled nursing facilities.
