St. Petersburg, Florida – April 19, 2021 – the National Assisted Living Association Florida (NALA) and its sister organization National Assisted Living Association Florida Advisory Services (NALA|AS) today announced the launch of the association which is focused on assisting owners and operators of seniors housing facilities throughout the State of Florida.  As the parent association, NALA is built on a platform of delivering Education, Collaboration and Innovation to its members, while also being a collective voice to educate and advocate for the industry with state and federal regulators.  NALA | AS provides products, services and consulting designed to address the unique needs of owners and operators in the seniors housing space.

NALA and NALA | AS are the first organizations of their kind in the State of Florida focused solely on the needs of small to mid-size owners and operators in the seniors housing sector.

“We are excited about the launch of NALA and NALA | AS and the positive impacts they will have on our industry,” said Julia Arrendell, Co-President of NALA and NALA | AS.  “The launch of NALA and NALA | AS was the result of a discussion over a cup of coffee in the summer of 2020 with several industry experts about the issues facing owners and operators in the seniors housing space, and what actions we could take to give back to the industry and help those parties.  The launch of NALA and NALA | AS is the result of the commitment resulting from that first meeting.” 

“Over the last several months we have built the framework for an organization that we believe will provide significant benefits to the industry,” added Dana Scott, Co-President of NALA and NALA | AS.  “From assisting facilities in their preparation for regulatory examinations to providing solutions for the isolation experienced by seniors in the current environment, the organization has already put in place a number of resources that will benefit owners, operators and their residents.  In the coming weeks and months, our members can expect to see the organization and its benefits continue to grow and evolve.”
