Finding the right assisted living community can be hard. There are many choices and options to consider, and you certainly do not want to leave the care of your loved one in the hands of just anyone. In choosing the right assisted living facility, it is common to have some reservations about the facility. You want to make sure that it will be committed to giving your loved one the kind of quality care that they deserve.

With so many available assisted living communities, finding the right one can be kind of overwhelming. This is where the Assisted Living Federation of America (ALFA) comes into the picture.

What is the Assisted Living Federation of America?

Founded in 1990, the ALFA is dedicated to the mission of enhancing the quality of life for seniors. As an active voice for senior living communities, they meet their goal of encouraging continuous advancement and growth in the senior care industry by providing the following:

Advocacy - One of the AFLA’s main services is advocacy on both the state and federal level. Because their top concern is the improvement of available senior care and lifestyle options, they are committed to working toward changes in health care reform and long-term care funding options.

Advancement – In order to ensure that seniors are able to maintain high levels of choice, dignity and independence, the AFLA is dedicated to promoting advancements and changes in the senior living industry.

Voice – While the ALFA may be an advocate for senior living communities, they are also the voice for all involved. This includes both the seniors and their families.

So how can the ALFA help you choose an assisted living facility? As part of their mission to enhance the quality of life, the ALFA offers an array of services and resource for seniors and their loved ones. Among these resources are:

  • Senior Living Facility Directories
