Other Residential Care Facilities

NAICS 623990 · Nursing and Residential Care Facilities · SBA size standard: $16 million average annual receipts

Other residential care facilities provide 24-hour non-medical supervised living in group homes and transitional housing with daily assistance for residents who need help with daily activities, medication reminders and structured routines. For a home that supports adults with developmental disabilities or seniors needing oversight, the specialists turn intake inquiries into resident profiles, resident needs into weekly schedules and staff rosters, schedules into supply orders and maintenance plans, and track all required logs, training records and licensing renewals while the house manager confirms all care and compliance decisions.
