Clinical Practice

​Nurses are playing an increasing role in assisted living, as trends indicate that residents’ acuity levels are rising. NCAL strives to provide important resources, guides, and information specifically geared for clinical staff in assisted living communities.

With so many communities around the country working to improve, no community is alone in its endeavors, regardless of if it is focused on improving resident safety, focusing on a specific condition, or reevaluating the nutrition plan for residents.
