Hospital & Healthcare Compensation Service (HCS) is conducting its annual Assisted Living Salary & Benefits Study and requests your participation. Assisted Living/Personal Care/Residential Care providers are invited to complete and submit the study questionnaire by November 9th. The national study is conducted by HCS and supported by the National Center for Assisted Living (NCAL).
There is no cost to participate. Survey respondents receive a substantial discount, with options to purchase the final results for $200 (prepaid) or $220 (billed), compared to the $400 nonparticipant rate. Questionnaires are available for download on the HCS website at www.hhcsinc.com. The results will be published in January 2027.
Last year’s Report contained data from 1,057 communities nationwide. The results cover salaries, bonuses, and hourly rates for 50 positions, with data reported regionally by bed size, profit type, and revenue, as well as by state and CBSA. The report also covers 18 fringe benefits, including health/dental/vision insurance, PTO/time-off policies, 401(k) plans, and educational assistance, while also covering critical metrics such as turnover rates, granted/budgeted salary increases, shift differentials, and sign-on bonuses.
HCS publishes ten annual compensation studies. Nationally known, its reports are recognized as the standard for reliable, comprehensive, and affordable compensation data for healthcare.
