An assisted-living facility does not include a home, apartment, or facility where:

1. Casual care is provided at irregular intervals, or
2. a competent person residing in such home, apartment, or facility provides for or contracts for his or her own personal or professional services if no more than 25% of persons residing in such home, apartment, or facility receive such services.

An assisted-living facility is not a nursing home and cannot provide complex nursing interventions.
