Which code does this activity belong in?
Nursing Care Facilities provide inpatient nursing and rehabilitative services for extended periods, with a permanent core staff of registered or licensed practical nurses delivering continuous personal care. The distinguishing feature is the presence of nursing care provided by permanent licensed nursing staff. Residential facilities serving people with intellectual, developmental, or mental health disabilities are classified in Residential Intellectual and Developmental Disability, Mental Health, and Substance Abuse Facilities, even when some nursing services are present, because the primary purpose differs from medical nursing care.
