Last week, the U.S. Senate Special Committee on Aging held a hearing, Assisted Living Facilities: Understanding Long-Term Care Options for Older Adults. In follow-up, residents and families have been asked to submit their stories and experiences with assisted living.

We need your help in identifying residents and families who are willing to share their positive, life-affirming stories about assisted living. Committee members need to hear directly from residents and their families why they chose assisted living, why they love it, what makes their community a home, and how their care team has become a family. Stories about how assisted living has helped improve quality of life, health outcomes, and supports families are also strongly encouraged.

Please direct residents and families to the NCAL Action Center to learn more and easily submit comments directly to the committee members. It is crucial that we share these stories and show how assisted living is truly providing high quality care at a high value to our nation's seniors.
