Hi,

Wondering if anyone has had experience (successful or not) using this health care credit for an NC innovation point.

I'm looking at a senior living project that will contain mostly independent living apartments, but will have a couple floors of assisted living with more direct care. Is assisted living/senior care considered "healthcare enough" to use Places of Respite as an innovation strategy? Would it be acceptable to calculate compliance based only on the floor area of the direct care floors? Alternatively, the project could most likely meet the 5% and landscaping/seating requirements for the entire floor area and the 2% staff area requirement based only on the direct care floor area - that seems like it addresses the whole building and provides accessible space for residents with limited mobility, even if only a portion of them are "patients." 

Thoughts on whether that's worth pursuing further? Thanks!
