IHCA-ICAL Dues Value Proposition
Do you really know the value of membership in IHCA-ICAL??
Assisted Living
- The 2010 cost of ALF membership is approximately 5.5¢ per resident per day.
- When every other provider group received cuts of 10% to 30% the Association helped prevent ALFs cuts of 10%, although the 3% cuts did continue into 2011.
- A 10% cut would result in an additional $3.00 per resident per day cut.
- This is an investment return of nearly 5,000%!!!
