The American Health Care Association and National Center for Assisted Living (AHCA/NCAL) is a national trade association that represents more than 15,000 facilities operated by both nonprofit and proprietary providers, including skilled nursing centers, assisted living communities, post-acute centers, and homes for individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities. It supports quality care across these settings and seeks to improve the lives of frail, elderly, and disabled residents who rely on long-term or post-acute care in member facilities every day.

Headquartered in Washington, D.C., the organization is a mid-sized actor within the hospital and health care industry, coordinating policy, standards, and workforce solutions for long-term care providers. In early 2026, AHCA/NCAL announced governance changes, with Jim Terpstra stepping down as historian and Julie Magnis named Chair, alongside Ann Felkner as Vice Chair.
