Arizona Assisted Living Home Association members are state-licensed assisted living home owners. They offer residences that provide the elderly in our community with housing in a home-like atmosphere. AALHA associate members provide our care homes and residents easy access to a wide range of services and products, specific to their needs. Our members' professional aptitude is what drives us as a professional association.

The AALHA association is governed by a Board of Directors consisting of members who are elected to serve for a term of one year. TOP

AALHA hosts a monthly meeting (check the AALHA website calendar for date and location) and we welcome all members and guests. AALHA encourages attending one of its meetings to learn more about the association and meet its members. You may attend two meetings as a guest/visitor prior to being asked to submit a membership application.

Monthly meetings are educational for all attendees and one CEU certificate will be given to AALHA Members for at least six monthly meetings in a calendar year. TOP
