The Florida Assisted Living Association (FALA) is a non-profit organization based in Tallahassee, Florida, serving as a professional body for the owners and operators of assisted living communities. Its membership spans facilities of varying sizes and both for-profit and not-for-profit operators, representing one of the largest networks of assisted living providers in Florida. The association acts as an advocate for its members and as a watchdog on policy initiatives that could influence their mission and goals. FALA has supported workforce and leadership development through partnerships such as the alliance with Herzing University to help recruit and train staff. In 2023, the organization appointed Bijou Ikli as Chief Executive Officer. It has also overseen programs aimed at reducing resident isolation, including a project launched with Sunshine Health in response to the COVID-19 pandemic.
