Why is an office a social_facility? > Is it just an office where people shuffle paperwork about ambulatory care or a place where ambulatory care is provided? I see a distinction.

I'd say that it is. It's a facility. It's social (in both meanings: people interact socially and it is a social service). See, for example, https://hutsworkshop.org/about-us A quote from https://hutsworkshop.org/huts-workshop we provide opportunities for exploration and support in all manner of arts and crafts, including pottery, woodwork, jewellery making, painting, sewing, weaving and needlework. We also offer support and learning opportunities in IT and basic cooking skills. We run regular trips to local venues and activities to widen experiences and offer inspiration for creativity. So more than one craft (a lot more) plus things other than crafts. =clothing_bank/food_bank/soup_kitchen/dairy_kitchen - facility that > distributes clothing/food/meals for cheap/free for poor people.

Maybe amenity=social_services. And maybe the workshop above would then fit under that but I'd argue that since it provides a measure of day care it may be better where it is. I don't think staying overnight is a necessary precondition of a social facility, but some sort of supervision for hours does. A soup kitchen is unsupervised (in the social services sense). -- Paul
