At CLHF Homes, we know that every person should be allowed to live as comfortably as possible, regardless of their challenges. As a result, we equip our residential homes to support and care for individuals with physical challenges. Many of the people in our community would have to stay in nursing homes, hospitals, or other uncomfortable conditions. However, when they come to CLHF Homes, we provide them with the comforts of home while also giving them the medical care that they need.

About the CLHF License
Congregate Living Health Facility:
The primary need of CLHF Facilities is for residents needing Skilled Nursing Care on a recurring, intermittent, extended, or continuous basis. The care in a CLHF is generally less intense than that provided in General Acute Care Hospitals but more intense than that provided in Skilled Nursing Facilities.
CLHF’s provide their patients 24/7 Sub-Acute Skilled Nursing Services in non-institutional, home-like environment.
Congregate Living Health Facilities (CLHF’s) are defined in H&S Code, Section 1250(i) (1), as a residential home which is licensed to provide inpatient care, including the following basic services:
- 24/7 Sub-Acute Nursing (For Vent and Trach Dependent Patients)
- 24-hour Skilled Nursing Care
- Medical supervision
- Pharmacy
- Dietary
- Complex wound care
- Neuromuscular disorders
- Medically complex cases
- Orthopedically complex cases
- Treatment for all levels of spinal cord injuries
- High-intensity rehabilitation therapy

- Social recreational, and at least one type of service specified below:
Congregate Living Health Facilities Can Provide One Of (Or All Of) the Following Services:
- Services to persons who are mentally alert, physically disabled, who may be ventilator dependent.
- Services for persons who have a diagnosis of a terminal illness, a diagnosis of a life-threatening illness, or both. Terminal illness means the individual has a life expectancy of six months or less as stated in writing by his/her attending physician and surgeon. A “life-threatening illness” means the individual has an illness that can lead to a possibility of a termination of life within five years or less as stated in writing by his or her attending physician and surgeon.
- Services for persons who are catastrophically and severely disabled. A catastrophically and severely disabled person means a person whose origin of disability was acquired through trauma or non-degenerative neurologic illness, for whom it has been determined that active rehabilitation would be beneficial and for whom these services would be provided.
- Services offered by a CLHF to a catastrophically disabled person shall include, but not be limited to, speech, physical, and occupational therapy.
CLHF standards are found in H&S Code, Section 1267.13. In addition to these standards, CLHF’s are required to conform to CCR, Title 22, Skilled Nursing Regulations, except for those sections or portions of sections specified in H&S Code, Section 1267.13(n). (These requirements in subsection 1267.13(n) are so specific to skilled nursing facilities, CLHFs were exempted from compliance with these sections.)

- Therapy services: We provide our residents with a range of therapies to ensure their long-term welfare. Whether your loved one needs occupational therapy, physical therapy, speech therapy, or another rehabilitative therapy, we ensure that they will have access to them.

- Acute and chronic respiratory care: We provide a variety of pulmonary services and respiratory programs to assist our residents. We have the support that you need, including highly trained respiratory therapists, nurse practitioners, and physicians.
