New York ALFA, the state chapter of ALFA in New York, provides a forum to help consumers, physicians, financiers, elected officials, regulators, media, family members and others understand the options offered by assisted living. We know, as you do, that life in assisted living means freedom of choice, independence, security and an active, meaningful life. More and more families are choosing this compassionate and less-costly long term care alternative for their loved ones and themselves.

New York ALFA members subscribe to a philosophy which offers cost-effective, safe, personalized and quality care; fosters resident independence and individuality; allows residents' choice of care and lifestyle; protects residents' rights to privacy; nurtures the spirit of residents with dignity and respect; and involves family, friends and the community.
