Help Us Get HHS Funding for Private Pay Assisted Living
Relief funds for private-pay assisted living providers are under consideration from the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS).

To help facilitate this, HHS has requested our assistance in gathering specific information on licensed senior living providers, including assisted living, memory care, and life plan communities/CCRCs, in U.S. states and territories.

Your help will be needed as soon as possible: Deadline is July 31, 2020, 4 PM CDT.

A distribution to private-pay assisted living is not fully confirmed, nor are details about how an allocation might be distributed. However, providing HHS with this data is an important step forward and we appreciate your help in being responsive to their request.

Companies that offer licensed/registered/certified assisted living/memory care should start preparing the following:

  • Name of licensed/registered/certified assisted living and/or memory care community.
  • Name of entity that holds the license/registration/certification.
  • Address.
  • Community license/registration/certification number (some states may not provide a number).
  • Corresponding Tax Identification Number (TIN).
  • Taxpayer ID Number for the filing company.
  • Contact information for the person submitting data.
  • Include licensed assisted living that is part of a life plan community/CCRC—even if the skilled nursing facility associated has already received funding from the Provider Relief Fund.

A group of national trade associations—Argentum, AHCA/NCAL, LeadingAge, and ASHA—are now preparing a secure data collection portal for your information. We’ll get the link to the portal and instructions to you as soon as possible so you can input your data safely by July 31st.

Please share this email with other providers. You do not need to be a member of a senior living trade association to participate in this secure and confidential data-collection effort.

We will keep you informed and have more details soon.

Thank you for your fast action in support of this vital aid to our industry. If you have any questions, please contact Nicole Fallon at: nfallon@leadingage.org.
