Which setting provides ongoing supervision and care for residents who do not require hospital care?

• A. Residential Care Facility
• B. Hospice Care
• C. Subacute Care Unit
• D. Long-term Care Services

Answer: (A)

A residential care facility is designed for ongoing supervision and help with daily living in a non-hospital setting. Residents live there and receive assistance with activities of daily living, meals, housekeeping, and supervision, without needing hospital-level medical treatment. Hospice focuses on comfort at end of life, often outside hospital facilities; a subacute care unit provides skilled medical care after a hospital stay; long-term care services is a broader term that can include various settings. Because the scenario describes continuous support in a living environment for people who don’t require hospital care, a residential care facility fits best.
