Which code does this activity belong in?
Assisted living facilities for the elderly are classified in NAICS 623312 when they provide residential and personal care services without maintaining on-site nursing care facilities. The distinction from continuing care retirement communities lies in the absence of skilled nursing infrastructure; establishments that operate separate on-site nursing facilities for residents are classified in NAICS 623311 instead. Both types offer room, board, supervision, and assistance with daily living activities, but only those without dedicated nursing care fall into this code.
