Connecticut Association of Health Care Facilities

What Connecticut Association of Health Care Facilities does

The Connecticut Association of Health Care Facilities Inc. / Connecticut Center for Assisted Living (CAHCF/CCAL) is a Connecticut-domiciled non-profit member association founded in 1929 and headquartered at 213 Court Street, Middletown, Connecticut. It functions as the Connecticut state affiliate of the American Health Care Association / National Center for Assisted Living (AHCA/NCAL) and represents profit and not-for-profit healthcare facilities delivering long-term, subacute, rehabilitative, and assisted living services to nearly 20,000 Connecticut citizens, alongside allied health-care-related businesses.

The association's product surface is service-oriented rather than technology-driven. Core member offerings include the Connecticut Long-Term Care – Mutual Aid Plan (CT LTC-MAP), the CMS Five-Star Rating System Resource Center, a Patient-Driven Payment Model (PDPM) Resource Center, the AHCA/NCAL-promoted LTC Trend Tracker, IPCO infection preventionist training, and the annual Membership Directory and Referral Guide. Channels to members run through a member-center portal on cahcf.org, an alert/newsletter system, and in-person events including the Long-Term Care Conference & Expo, Annual Meeting, and the VAMSF Golf Outing (which funds the Vera Arterburn Memorial Scholarship Fund). Consumer-facing assets are limited to a Find a Facility directory.

Revenue mechanics are membership-based and undisclosed: facility member dues and business affiliate sponsorship fees (e.g., Preferred Therapy Solutions, Procare LTC Pharmacy, Baker Tilly) form the primary income stream, supplemented by event and directory revenue. The organization operates with 1–10 employees — a small staff supported by named leadership (Matthew V. Barrett, JD, MPA, President/CEO) — and reports to no owner-equity structure; instead it is governed as a member association under its parent affiliation with AHCA/NCAL. No technology platform, software product, AI capabilities, or external funding are associated with the entity in the supplied data.

Scale indicators4 records

Recent moves6 records

Expansion highlights3 records

Broad incumbents

• Argentum: National trade association solely focused on the assisted living industry. Directly comparable to CAHCF's CCAL division at the national level, representing senior living operators across the country rather than a single state.
• LeadingAge: National association representing nonprofit aging-services providers including CCRCs, assisted living, and home- and community-based services. Broader incumbent whose Connecticut chapter competes with CAHCF/CCAL for nonprofit long-term care members.

Regional players

• New York State Health Facilities Association: Trade association for skilled nursing and post-acute care providers in New York State. Mirrors CAHCF/CCAL's role for nursing home operators in a larger adjacent state, with overlapping advocacy, education, and regulatory support functions.
• Pennsylvania Health Care Association: Statewide association representing Pennsylvania's long-term care facilities, including skilled nursing and assisted living providers. Comparable to CAHCF/CCAL as a state-level LTC advocacy and member-services organization, but serving a different geography.
• Massachusetts Senior Care Association: State-level not-for-profit association representing nursing homes, assisted living residences, and senior housing providers in Massachusetts. Directly comparable to CAHCF/CCAL in mission, membership model, and service mix, but operating in a neighboring New England state rather than Connecticut.
• Florida Health Care Association: Florida's state trade association for nursing homes and assisted living facilities. Highly comparable in member services and advocacy scope to CAHCF/CCAL, but operating in a much larger and more geographically distant LTC market.
• Health Care Association of New Jersey: New Jersey's state trade association for long-term and subacute care providers. Closely comparable to CAHCF/CCAL in member base and service scope, serving a neighboring Northeast state.

Others

• American College of Health Care Administrators (ACHCA): Professional association for long-term care administrators that co-sponsors educational programming with CAHCF/CCAL (e.g., the Long-Term Care Conference & Expo). An adjacent ecosystem partner rather than a competitor.
• American Health Care Association / National Center for Assisted Living (AHCA/NCAL): National federation to which CAHCF/CCAL is the Connecticut state affiliate. Not a direct competitor but the parent federation that sets shared advocacy priorities, quality programs, and data products for state affiliates like CAHCF/CCAL.

Direct peers

• LeadingAge Connecticut: Connecticut state partner of LeadingAge representing nonprofit aging-services providers including CCRCs, assisted living, and senior housing. Operates in the same state as CAHCF/CCAL and competes for some overlapping members, particularly on the nonprofit and assisted living side.
