What this license means. In Puerto Rico, the Department of the Family issues this license, under Act 94 of 1977, to places that care for 7 or more older adults (60 and older) 24 hours a day; the law calls them institutions. It is what many families call a home for the elderly; these places range from small homes to large residences. The license lasts up to two years and is renewed if the place still meets the requirements. If you are looking for a smaller setting, there are also foster homes for up to 6 people.
