I'm having trouble classifying our ALF (Assisted Living Facility); is it a NC? or Healthcare? or Hospitality. It's a 3 Story, 80,000 SF, w/140 beds.
My closest choice would be "New Construction" -since it's not an Hotel and Assisted care for seniors wouldn't qualify as patients; would they?-,
Whatever the choice; then do I use NC 2009 or v4?
I'm very confused navigating all over and still no clear "light at the end of the tunnel"

You may go for healthcare but you do not have to. Here's the current definition of those projects that MUST use HC:
LEED for Healthcare: Hospitals that operate twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week and provide inpatient medical treatment, including acute and long-term care.

Well Susan,
This is the issue, the Assisted Living facility doesn't have patients...wacute and long term care...you see, so, the alternatives are NC and I don't think Hospitality qualifies either...so I guess NC is the only alternative.
If Tristan Roberts can give me his opinion it'll be great; then I register the Bldg.
Thanks a lot Susan!
