AFCI protected receptacles in Senior Center

[Bowhunter]

Are assisted living or memory care unit receptacles for seniors required to be AFCI protected as in a dwelling? Or is a Senior Center like a nursing home?:?

See art. 100 for definition of dwelling. Do the units have provisions for cooking?

If you are under 2014 NEC you also need to rule out whether or not the AHJ would consider each unit to be called a "dormitory unit". And it would apply to all 15 and 20 amp 120 volt outlets in the space not just receptacle outlets.

Thank you. The definition of dwelling and multi-family dwelling is very clear to me.
I feel both memory care and assisted living both fall into the category of a dwelling. They both have sleeping, cooking and bathrooms.
I will make sure they are all AFCI protected.
