YOU CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE!

The Florida Assisted Living Association's staff and Lobbyist have provided Budget language to increase reimbursement for assisted living communities.  We need your help in order to combat the rising cost of operating assisted living communities for our seniors.
Call The Budget Chairs About Increasing the Funding for ALFs
The House and Senate budget talks are getting down to the wire on funding Florida's Priorities. Assisted living providers, their staff, residents(to the extent possible) and families are encouraged to get involved.  We need you to call both of the Budget Chairs today – and ask them to put funding for assisted living facilities into Florida's Budget.  It will only take a minute but it *will* make a difference. Can't call, send an email! Choose on the the draft emails or you may send your own.

What to Say When You Call
Remember: Always be polite. Also, you may have to leave a voicemail or call back if the phone lines are busy.
