The Importance of Expanding Affordable Assisted Living Options and Proposed Solutions

The National Center for Assisted Living (NCAL) released a white paper as part of its efforts to meet the changing needs of the growing senior population. The document outlines challenges to offering more affordable assisted living for low- and middle-income seniors, as well as solutions that could help improve access to necessary care. NCAL reinforces the need for public-private partnerships to increase affordable assisted living options for low- to moderate-income older adults who can no longer live at home. NCAL also highlights Medicaid as one of the major challenges, as the program is chronically underfunded and limits access to assisted living care.
