These relate to whether the facility will have  legislated care standards, physical environment  standards or restrictions on  double  occupancy;([[{{PAGENAME}}#References|22]]) whether the facility is  subject  to routine inspections;  whether there are  reporting requirements  for abuse, neglect  or other  incidents; and whether they are required to have  a medical practitioner  or registered  nurse on site.  Some of these differences are summarized in Table 2.
