Leadership

The QMAP syllabus changes, tiered Medicaid rates and the rising acuity of residents are just some of the issues on which CALA continues to be a statewide leader.

For Service Providers and Industry Partners

Visibility

Associate membership in CALA gives you access to hundreds of assisted living providers around the state and demonstrates your interest in and commitment to addressing their needs.

Access

Belonging to CALA gives you access to the decision makers and business leaders who shape Colorado’s assisted living industry.

Promotion

There are a variety of promotional opportunities and venues available through CALA, including exhibition at our conference, sponsorship of our events and ads in our newsletter.

Networking

Our Fall and Spring Conferences, monthly lunch n learns and other events are valuable opportunities to network with providers and business associates from around the state.

Referrals

When our providers need a particular service, they turn to CALA members first through our directory listings on our website and referrals from other CALA providers.

The benefits of CALA membership are vast. Being a member of CALA has helped promote our business with other professionals as well as the general public.

One valuable benefit is networking with other Assisted Living providers and local government agencies. We are a group of concerned associates who are able to have a voice in maintaining best practices in our industry. For a nominal annual investment, our CALA membership is truly priceless.
