Sec. 25. License requirement.

No entity shall use in its name or advertise "assisted living" unless licensed as an assisted living establishment under this Act or as a shelter care facility under the Nursing Home Care Act that also meets the definition of an assisted living establishment under this Act, except a shared housing establishment licensed under this Act may advertise assisted living services.
