leefgroep

Dutch to English Medical Medical (general) Rehabilitation
Hi!
I'm looking for the translation of the Dutch word, leefgroep, into English. It makes part of a rehabilitation center's jargon. Patients who are admitted in a rehab center are subdivided in groups in accordance to their injuries. Such a group is called a 'leefgroep'. 'Leefgroep also refers to the common area used by the patients. It usually has a living room and a kitchen.
Proposed translations (English)
4 +2 commune
5 +1 assisted living group/assisted care group
3 +3 residential rehabilitation unit

assisted living group/assisted care group

I would not use the word 'communities', as this refers to healthy people.

neutral writeaway : afaik, assisted living refers to elderly care speak for older people who can't manage anymore completely on their own-they live in their own rooms, but also have care when needed.

The words *rehabilitation center" *patients*, *injuries* seem to suggest that assisted care is needed in daily life.
