What is CALA?
The California Assisted Living
Association (CALA) is the only statewide association solely
representing the assisted living providers who serve over 25,000
elderly and disabled individuals throughout the state. CALA
members range from small independently operated communities, to
multi-state providers, to those that specialize in caring for
residents with dementia, to large campuses with multiple levels
of licensed care. CALA members recognize the value of a strong
voice, representing their needs.

Assisted Living Today and Tomorrow
Assisted living services are
evolving and have become more sophisticated than ever before.
Resident needs are growing and providers are expanding programs
and services. Whether you’ve been in the business for years, or
are a relative newcomer, you need the resources membership in
CALA offers.

|
Keep You Informed
CALA keeps you informed via the
monthly newsletter The CALA Bulletin. Members are also kept
aware of any regulatory changes or urgent issues that arise
through CALA Alert emails or faxes. And, CALA’s staff is on hand
to provide you with technical assistance you may need.

Regulatory and legislative
Support
As a member, you benefit from CALA’s accomplishments every day.
Without CALA, providers would face higher costs, regulations
that are more rigid and fewer options for their residents. CALA
has achieved numerous successes on your behalf including
eliminating the exception requirement for restricted conditions,
giving providers the authority to charge a preadmission fee, the
authority to call a hospice nurse instead of 911 under certain
circumstances, as well as being able to admit residents already
receiving hospice care.

|
Continuing Education
CALA delivers the highest quality educational programs so you
can hone your skills, develop new programs and strategies, and
meet your continuing education requirements at the same time.
|
|
Statewide Conferences and
Regional Workshops
You’ll enjoy networking
opportunities while earning your continuing education units at
CALA’s statewide conferences and regional workshops.
