AHCA/NCAL

Beginning today and continuing through Saturday, Sept. 13, America’s assisted living communities are participating in National Assisted Living Week® (NALW).

Today, AHCA/NCAL launched “Caregivers for Tomorrow,” a new initiative designed to advance policy solutions that strengthen and sustain the long term care workforce.

Today, we're proud to announce that it will now be affiliating with the Montana Health Care Association (MHCA) and the newly formed Wyoming Long Term Care Association (WLTCA).

A survey ​from AHCA finds that MA plans are denying or delaying medically necessary post-acute care, often against medical professionals’ recommendations, on a daily and weekly basis.

In 2020, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services created a program that distributed free CLIA waived COVID-19 test kits to assisted living communities and skilled nursing facilities.

The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services has posted an updated quality measure user manual, along with updated measure specifications and risk adjustment files.

In the FY 2025 SNF PPS Final Rule, CMS finalized a policy for SNFs who participate in the SNF Quality Reporting Program, a validation process beginning in the fall of 2025 for the FY 2027 SNF QRP.

An effective and compliant Emergency Preparedness Program is one that is continually reviewed and improved.
