National Assisted Living Week® (NALW) 2026 will be here in two weeks! This year's event takes place September 13-19, and this
short video from NCAL Executive Director LaShuan Bethea provides the inspiration you need to finalize your plans and get ready to celebrate.
NALW was created by the National Center for Assisted Living (NCAL) in 1995 and is sponsored by Joint Commission in 2026. This year’s theme, Shining Through the Years, honors the lives and stories of residents and the important role of caregivers and staff in helping them continue to shine.
