AAHSA
The members of the American Association of Homes and Services for the Aging (AAHSA) serve two million people every day through mission-driven, not-for-profit organizations dedicated to providing the services people need, when they need them, in the place they call home. AAHSA members offer the continuum of aging services: adult day services, home health, community services, senior housing, assisted living residences, continuing care retirement communities, and nursing homes. AAHSA's commitment is to create the future of aging services through quality people can trust.

ALFA
The Assisted Living Federation of America (ALFA) is the largest national association exclusively dedicated to professionally-operated assisted living communities for seniors. ALFA's member-driven programs promote business and operational excellence through national conferences, research, publications and executive networks. ALFA works to influence public policy by advocating for informed choice, quality care and accessibility for all Americans seeking assistance with long-term care. The association is laser-focused on providing tools to advance operational excellence in its member companies. The five focal areas of operational excellence include: Growth Strategies, Quality Resident Services, Leadership, Community Systems/Infrastructure, and Quality Performance Management.
