Assisted Living
Assisted Living has emerged over the past 15 years as an important and popular segment in the continuum of care.
The majority of assisted living AAHSA members are a part of a continuing care
retirement community while others are free standing. Assisted living is state
regulated and all fifty states have some form of regulation or licensure category for assisted
living, although it may not be called by that name. State regulations vary on who can be
admitted and reside in assisted living. Assisted living is primarily private pay,
although 41 states currently have a Medicaid Waiver/Medicaid State Plan for a limited
amount of residents. For more information, contact
Steve Maag.

June 20, 2008
Quality of care is not determined by the forum chosen for resolution of whatever disputes may arise between providers and consumers. On behalf of both our members and the residents they serve, we urge the Senate not to foreclose recourse to agreements that can expedite the resolution of disputes for all parties and prevent unnecessary expense that takes resources away from resident services.
