The correct answer is Residential Board and Care. This type of occupancy is specifically designed to provide both lodging and personal care services for four or more residents. It typically caters to individuals who may need assistance with daily living activities, such as meals, personal hygiene, and medication management, creating an environment that prioritizes both the health and well-being of its residents.

In contrast, ambulatory health care facilities primarily focus on providing medical services to patients who do not need to stay overnight, and may not offer the same level of personal care as a residential board and care facility. A lodging house generally provides basic accommodations without personal care services, which distinguishes it from residential board and care. Finally, a detention center is meant for holding individuals in custody and does not provide personal care in the way a residential board and care facility does. Hence, the focus and services provided in a residential board and care facility align directly with the criteria mentioned in the question.
