We Are Here For You
As we continue to seek the highest quality of care for all of our nation’s seniors during these trying times we want to remind you all of the reason that we got into assisted living in the first place…to help our seniors. We want to make sure that regardless of what is going on around us, that they are cared for and not forgotten.
Residential assisted living is so critical to the health of seniors in this country, now more than ever. With single-family homes that have less residents and a better caregiver-to- senior ratio than the traditional big box facilities, we know we are in the right business to keep seniors safe and healthy during these trying times.
We want to encourage you to continue to provide amazing care in a safe and secure environment and help ensure that we all get through this together. The RAL National Association is here for you…to support you and provide guidance along the way. We are better together.

Seniors Living with Chronic Pain
In the right situation, pain is a wonderful mechanism. It is our body’s way of alerting us to injury and letting us know something needs to change in order for us to heal. Unfortunately, chronic pain, with little relief and no apparent end in sight is reportedly on the rise. The effects of chronic pain can trigger depression, isolation, reckless behavior in pursuit of relief and even cause lasting changes to personality. Seniors face the greatest risk to living with chronic pain. Fortunately, modern medicine and various forms of therapy can be effective in treating it. How are addressing chronic pain in you seniors?

Water…one of the building blocks of life. Everything we do is made possible by water. The organs and complex systems in our body can’t work without it. Even minor dehydration can have a significant impact on our body’s function. Maintaining proper fluid levels helps optimize all the systems of our bodies and our health. But are our seniors getting enough of it?
