An outpatient housing unit means a housing unit of a city, county or city and county law enforcement facility established to retain inmates who require special housing for security or protection. Typically, these are inmates whose health condition would not normally warrant admission to a licensed heath care facility and for whom housing in the general population may place them at personal or security risk. Outpatient housing unit residents may receive outpatient health services and assistance with the activities of daily living. Outpatient housing unit beds are not licensed correctional treatment center beds.
