Class code 8829-2 — Assisted Living Facility
Custodial and support care for residents in an assisted-living setting.
This classification covers custodial and support staff at an assisted-living facility, where residents generally need help with daily activities but require less hands-on medical care than in a nursing home.
Typical work includes helping residents with dressing, bathing, and meal reminders, monitoring general wellbeing, coordinating activities, and assisting with mobility around the facility. Staff also manage housekeeping, dining services, and administrative tasks that keep the community running for a population that is largely independent but benefits from daily support.
Payroll includes personal care aides, activity coordinators, dietary staff, and administrative personnel. Injury frequency is generally lower than at a nursing home because residents typically need less intensive physical assistance, though staff still face strain from occasional lifting or transfer support and slip-and-fall hazards common to any residential facility.
