A state license is required to operate a CLHF in California, which is defined as: CLHF means a residential home with a capacity, of no more than 12

 

beds, except as provided in Sections 1250(i)(4)(A) & (B) of the Health and Safety (H&S) Code. CLHFs provide inpatient care, including the

 

following basic services: medical supervision, 24-hour skilled nursing and supportive care, pharmacy, dietary, social, and recreational.

 

 

Also, CLHFs shall provide at least one type of service specified in Sections 1250(i)(2)(A), (B), & (C) of the H&S Code. The primary need of

 

congregate living health facility residents shall be for availability of skilled nursing care on a recurring, intermittent, extended, or continuous

 

basis. This care is generally less intense than that provided in general acute care hospitals but more intense than that provided in skilled

 

nursing facilities (SNF).

 

 

Please NOTE the following:

 

1. CLHF standards are found in Section 1267.13 of the H&S Code. In addition to these standards, CLHFs are required to conform to the

 

California Code of Regulations (CCR), Title 22, SNF regulations,except for those sections or portions of sections specified in Section

 

1267.13(n) of the H&S Code. (These requirements in subsection 1267.13(n) are so specific to SNFs; CLHFs were exempted from

 

compliance with these sections.)

 

2. Any requests for EXCEPTIONS to the REGULATIONS pursuant to Section 1267.13 of the H&S must submit the following:

 

a. Identify the standard for which the exception is sought;
