Industry Overview
NAICS 6239 encompasses other residential care facilities that provide supervised housing and personal care services to individuals who require assistance with activities of daily living but do not require the level of skilled nursing care provided in nursing homes. This industry group includes facilities serving specialized populations such as persons with intellectual or developmental disabilities, persons with mental illness, substance abuse treatment residents, and other individuals needing residential support services. These facilities are distinguished from nursing care facilities (NAICS 6231) by their focus on personal care, social services, and behavioral support rather than medical and nursing services. The industry plays a critical role in the long-term care ecosystem, offering alternatives to institutional care and enabling community-based living arrangements for vulnerable populations. Facilities typically employ care workers, counselors, and support staff who provide case management, therapeutic services, and assistance with housing stability alongside daily living support.
