What is National Assisted Living Week?

National Assisted Living Week (NALW) will be celebrated this year from Sept. 8-14, 2024. Established by the National Center for Assisted Living (NCAL) in 1995, this annual event celebrates caregivers, residents, and the important services provided by assisted living facilities across the country. But what is National Assisted Living Week, exactly, and why is it so significant?

This Year’s Theme: “Inspiring Generations”

Each year, National Assisted Living Week adopts a unique theme that highlights different aspects of assisted living. This year’s theme, “Inspiring Generations,” spotlights the valuable connections between generations and the powerful influence seniors have on younger generations – and vice versa. It emphasizes the importance of building relationships across different age groups, celebrating the rich experiences and wisdom of seniors, and recognizing the role of caregivers in fostering these bonds.

“Inspiring Generations” invites assisted living communities to host events that celebrate the contributions of both residents and staff while honoring the unique relationships that develop within these communities. Participants young and old are invited to reflect on the journey of assisted living, appreciate the dedication of caregivers, and inspire the next generation of assisted living professionals.
