This map service is based on the Long Term Care Residences point datalayer and contains the locations of licensed nursing homes, rest homes and assisted living residences in Massachusetts.Long-term care residences provide housing and services for individuals who are managing illness and/or disability attributed to physical and/or mental health conditions. While terminology may vary, generally long-term care facilities are distinguished by the type of medical and custodial (non-medical services such as dressing, bathing, etc.) care they provide, the relative independence of their residents, and the types of on-site amenities. Furthermore, some facilities cater to specific patient populations (e.g. Alzheimer's patients).For the purposes of this datalayer, a nursing home is defined as a residential facility that provides 24-hour nursing care, rehabilitative services and activities of daily living to the chronically ill who require a relatively high level of institutional support. A rest home provides 24-hour supervision and supportive services for individuals who do not routinely need nursing or medical care. Similarly, assisted living residences provide residents with housing and various daily living support services, but usually do not offer medical care. Assisted living residences often emphasize greater autonomy and privacy for residents through individual apartment-style rentals. Other residential facilities that provide long term care such as group homes (i.e. boarding homes or congregate housing) and hospice facilities are not explicitly specified in this datalayer. Many locations in this datalayer, however, may offer additional services ranging from independent retirement living to intensive skilled nursing and palliative care. Non-residential care locations such as adult day health, rehabilitation, and senior centers are omitted.See the datalayer's full metadata for more information.A Feature Service also is available.

The City of Boston requires that vendors providing goods and services to the City follow fair practices in the screening and hiring process for indiviudals with criminal backgrounds. A Criminal Offender Record Information (CORI) report is used during background checks to determine an applicant's criminal history. The City has established a set of rules for using CORI reports in its own hiring process, and requires that vendors do the same.

This dataset contains a list of vendors that are in compliance with the City's policy and have City of Boston contracts over $5,000 as of the dates listed on each file below. The most recent available version is marked as such; older versions are retained primarily for historical reference. It may be used to identify CORI friendly employers working with the city, or to help companies ensure their compliance with the policy.
