The Local Government Information Model has no decent category for Senior Living Facility. These are NOT nursing homes or long term care facilities, they are basically apartments for seniors aged 65 and over. This category is used by our 911 responders in case an evacuation is needed. Senior Living Facilities would need to be handled differently than the general population in an evacuation. We would like to see ESRI officially add a code to the Health and Medical FCode domain called "Senior Living Facility" to accommodate these uses. In the meantime we will add these manually to our local domain.

Thanks for the suggestion! We'll consider adding this value for a future release.

To help with your implementation of the Local Government Information Model, please keep in mind that the provided values in FCode (and all the domains used in the local government information model) are not meant to a complete list of possibilities, although we do try to cover the most common values. Feel free to add and remove values from these domains as necessary to make them work for your organization.

If you come accross values like these that you feel would be beneficial to other organizations and should be part of the delivered values, this is a great place to submit those ideas, so thanks!
