Assisted Living has become a reality in the state of Iowa. In order for you to be on top of the ever-changing environment you need to be well informed... That's where the Iowa Assisted Living Association (IALA) comes in... IALA has been formed in an effort to ensure the policies and regulations which are being developed are in the best interests of the elderly consumers of Iowa. We invite you to join IALA, an affiliate of Assisted Living Federation of America (ALFA), as we formulate policy and regulatory positions to assist you in your efforts to make this quality, affordable option available to Iowans. Decisions made today will dictate the scope and structure of the assisted living industry for the foreseeable future. IALA Mission Statement To advance the ideals of privacy, independence, dignity and choice for our frail elderly while maintaining a safe and secure environment for them.
