Adult Care Home Facility: how many are there, and how many are in private practice?

National totals

What this specialty covers

A custodial care facility providing supportive and personal care services to disabled and/or elderly individuals who cannot function independently in most areas of activity and need assistance and monitoring to enable them to remain in a home like environment.

Reading the sole-proprietor share

For this specialty, 1,058 records, or 18.7%, carry the sole-proprietor flag in NPPES. That field is self-reported and can help describe how reporting organizations identify themselves, but it is an imperfect proxy for private practice: it does not by itself establish ownership, independence, staffing, or how care is delivered. Read the percentage as a NPPES classification, not as a direct estimate of independently owned or privately operated facilities.

By state

New NPI registrations by year

Counts reflect the year each NPI was first issued, among records still active today. The final year is partial: this data covers through 2026-01-11.

Data notes

• The sole-proprietor field is self-reported by the provider in NPPES and is an imperfect proxy for private practice.
• A sole-proprietor count shown as <11 is suppressed: the true value is below 11, which could include zero.
• These are active NPI records whose primary taxonomy is 311ZA0620X, not a verified census of facilities or locations.
• An NPI's enumeration year records when the NPI was issued, not necessarily when a facility opened, began operating, or adopted this taxonomy.
• Providers are counted once, by their primary taxonomy code only.
