VALA is a non-profit membership organization dedicated to providing advocacy, communication, education, and resources to the assisted living industry in Virginia. Formed in 1996, we are the unified voice of assisted living in Virginia and the official state affiliate of the Assisted Living Federation of America (ALFA). Our members represent the entire spectrum of the industry: providers of both non-profit and for-profit, and large and small assisted living homes. We also welcome Industry Partners - companies, government agencies and individuals that provide a service to, or have an interest in, assisted living in Virginia.

A Time of Change
:
Right now is a time of tremendous change for assisted living in Virginia. Many forces are influencing the future of the rapidly growing alternative for Virginia seniors:
- New regulations are being written
- New legislation is being proposed
- Healthcare delivery and reimbursement systems are evolving
- Consumer awareness and knowledge are on the rise

During this time of transformation, the assisted living industry in Virginia faces an enormous challenge: How can providers "stay ahead of the curve" on issues affecting the future of assisted living while maintaining a focus on what is important today - providing quality, affordable, home-like alternatives to current residents?
