Answer & full 3-part explanation (select an option above, or peek)
Why C is correct
A California RCFE is a residential setting — essentially the assisted living tier — licensed to provide supervision and personal care to seniors who do not require skilled nursing or continuous medical treatment. AH-V.1c names RCFEs among the covered sites of care, and recognizing that RCFE residents need oversight but not nursing is a common exam distinction.
Why the other options are wrong
- A) 24-hour skilled nursing is the function of a skilled nursing facility, not an RCFE.
- B) Acute hospital services belong to hospitals; RCFEs are residential, non-medical settings.
- D) RCFEs are not limited to the terminally ill; hospice has its own licensing framework.
Memory hook
RCFE = residential care for the elderly — supervision without the skilled-nursing machinery.
