Residential care communities are defined by the CDC as:Â "Includes assisted living communities and other residential care communities (for example, personal care homes, adult care homes, board care homes, or adult foster care) that meet the study eligibility criteria."
"Activities of daily living (ADLs) refers to residents needing any help or supervision from another person, use of assistive devices, or both. Walking includes using a cane, walker, or wheelchair, or help from another person. Transferring includes needing assistance getting in and out of a bed or chair. Individual ADLs are not mutually exclusive; a resident can be counted in more than one ADL."
