Which of the following is NOT considered a basic service provided in an RCFE?

In a Residential Care Facility for the Elderly (RCFE), basic services are generally those that are essential for daily living and the well-being of residents. These typically include housekeeping assistance, support with activities of daily living (ADLs) such as bathing and dressing, and meal preparation, all of which are fundamental to maintaining a comfortable and safe living environment for the elderly.

Outdoor excursions, while beneficial for residents’ socialization and mental health, do not fall under the category of basic services. These activities are usually considered supplemental or recreational services that enhance quality of life rather than fundamental care components. Therefore, they are not classified as basic services provided in an RCFE.
