CEAL@UNC’s Discussion of Federal Involvement in Assisted Living Published in McKnight’s

April 7, 2025 by Lea Efird-Green

Dr. Sheryl Zimmerman, Executive Director of CEAL@UNC, is a guest columnist in McKnight’s Senior Living. The fourth article in this series discusses the current federal footprint in assisted living and current related regulation.

The article, “Is It Time for the Federal Government to Become More Involved in Assisted Living?,” reframes the titular question and explains how federal influence is already deeply embedded in the industry, detailing how federal programs, policies, and agencies influence consumer access and experience. The article further underscores the benefits of open dialogue and continued collaboration between providers and policymakers in advancing well-being in assisted living.
