Description
The Empire State Association of Assisted Living (ESAAL) is a not-for-profit organization that since 1979 has been dedicated to strengthening New York State’s assisted living industry and promoting the best interests of providers and residents. It is the only association that exclusively represents the assisted living industry, serving more than 240 Assisted Living Residences, Adult Homes and Enriched Housing Programs throughout New York State. These member residences are home to more than 20,000 elderly people.
The Association provides education, governmental and legislative advocacy services for its member assisted living owners and administrators. It is widely recognized by government and other stakeholders as the voice for assisted living, and is committed to ensuring access to assisted living for all New Yorkers that choose it.
Lisa Newcomb has been the Empire State Association’s Executive Director since 1998. In that capacity, she represents the Association and its members by serving as an appointee on the Adult Care Facility/Assisted Living Residence Task Force created as part of the Assisted Living Reform Act passed into law in 2004, as well as numerous other Department of Health workgroups and committees addressing assisted living and home care topics. Before becoming the Executive Director in 1998, Lisa served as the Association’s Director of Member Services, growing the Association’s membership by enhancing membership value through personalized customer service and the development of high quality and cost saving member programs.
