CALA News & Views | Issue 53 | CALA at 30

For 30 years, CALA has been committed to promoting a vibrant, diverse and innovative model of care that meets the changing needs of California’s older adults. Through strong legislative and regulatory advocacy, CALA has worked to create a balanced regulatory environment, promoting operational effectiveness and the integrity of licensing practices, all while keeping the resident experience front and center. CALA has achieved significant legislative and regulatory changes that enhance resident-centered care. This success is due to the collective work of CALA’s board leadership, committee and task force members, strong stakeholder relationships within and beyond the long-term services and supports system, and a strong problem-solving approach with legislators and regulators. As we look to the future, CALA continues its advocacy work to enhance the quality of care and operational effectiveness of Assisted Living, Memory Care and CCRCs.
