California Nursing Home Administrator License Practice Exam

Which is a service that is not required in assisted living facilities?

1. Administration of medications

2. Regular health check-ups

3. Transportation to social events

4. Assistance with basic personal care

The correct answer is: Transportation to social events

In assisted living facilities, providing transportation to social events is not considered a required service. Assisted living primarily focuses on supporting residents with daily activities and personal care. While many facilities choose to offer transportation as a convenience or an added benefit to enhance the residents' quality of life, it is not mandated by regulations governing these types of facilities. In contrast, other services such as administration of medications, regular health check-ups, and assistance with basic personal care are essential components of assisted living care. These services directly contribute to the residents' health, safety, and well-being, ensuring that their medical needs are met and that they can maintain a level of independence while receiving necessary support.
