North Shore Health Region v. The Queen, 2006 TCC 585
The registrant was not a "public hospital" given that it did not provide its patients with a high degree of complex medical care but, instead, provided assisting living in varying degrees, with the availability of trained nurses to dispense medication and render relatively routine medical assistance if required, but with there being no physicians on staff and the visits of a geriatrician being infrequent. Although the registrant was designated as a "hospital" for certain provincial regulatory purposes, such designation was on the basis that it qualified as a "community care facility" rather than as a hospital in the ordinary sense of that word.

24 March 2022 GST/HST Ruling 222713 - Sale of […][real property by a charity]
A registered charity, which was largely government-funded, used a facility, which it had constructed, to provide a program which involved clients staying at the facility. The average stay was less than 30 days and there were no lease agreements between it and the clients.
CRA ruled that the facility was not a residential complex based on its view that the accommodation provided to the clients was not of “residential units” as defined in s. 123(1). Accordingly, a transfer of the facility in connection with a reorganization would be exempted under Sched. V, Part V.1, s. 1.
