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?
