All Assisted Living Services Agencies (ALSAs) in Connecticut are licensed and regulated by the Department of Public Health (DPH). They primarily serve adults age 55 and older who need some health or nursing care or assistance with activities of daily living, including dressing, eating, bathing, and transferring from a bed to a chair, but not the skilled care a nursing home provides. Only a DPH-licensed ALSA can provide assisted living services and ALSAs must operate within a managed residential community (MRC).
