IAHSA

Vision- To be the association of choice for human services organizations which provide services to persons in need, with a particular focus on the elderly.

Mission- The Indiana Association of Homes and Services for the Aging assists members to provide the highest quality of life for those they serve.

The Indiana Association of Homes and Services for the Aging (IAHSA) is an association representing not-for-profit services and facilities for the elderly. IAHSA members are non-profit organizations, providing high quality health care, services and housing for over 25,000 seniors throughout Indiana. IAHSA members are sponsored by or affiliated with religious, fraternal, governmental, and community organizations.

Mission of Service: IAHSA members are driven by a mission of service within their communities. The goal of IAHSA is to promote and protect the welfare and well-being of the elderly served by our members and to help achieve high standards of care and service by our members. As a full service association, IAHSA provides members with education, group services, up-to-date information, networking, and leadership development, as well as prompt, efficient service for the professional staff.

Serving the Continuum: IAHSA members represent the continuum of long term care, services and housing for seniors in Indiana. IAHSA membership is comprised of four major components:

Continuing Care Retirement Communities (CCRCs) - where a range of living options are available on one campus setting from independent living to skilled nursing care;

Senior housing - IAHSA represents the not-for-profit senior housing in Indiana, particularly housing serving low-income seniors.

Nursing facilities - IAHSA members provide the highest quality nursing home care, many offering specialized programs for persons with Alzheimer's and other cognitive impairments and other special needs groups.

Hospital -based skilled nursing units provide highly skilled restorative and rehabilitative care as a transition from acute hospital care to the home and other less intensive levels of care.

In addition, many IAHSA members provide a range of community-based services, such as home health, adult day care, and congregate and home-delivered meals. IAHSA members focus on the total needs of the individual and are dedicated to the development of a seamless and integrated system of facilities and services for Hoosier seniors.
