LeadingAge is an association of not-for-profit*, long-term care providers of services to the elderly from throughout Maine and New Hampshire. The member organizations include nursing homes, assisted living facilities, federally-assisted and market-rate housing units, home- and community-based services, and continuing care retirement communities (CCRCs).

LeadingAge, formerly the American Association of Homes and Services for the Aging (AAHSA), represents more than 5,600 not-for-profit organizations throughout the country. Leading Age ’s members help millions of individuals and their families every day because they are mission-driven, not-for-profit organizations dedicated to providing the services that people need, when they need them, in the place they call home.

Be sure to learn about LeadingAge’s Quality First program—the philosophy of quality and a framework for earning public trust in aging services; and read about LeadingAges ’ accomplishments on both a local and a nationwide level as well!

On occasion, consumers will contact the association seeking information about options for care, which can be a daunting process knowing where to begin, what services are available, and so forth. Leading Age offers excellent resources for consumers about choosing the right services, locating a provider, paying for aging services, and planning ahead.

*Why choose a not-for-profit?
Setting the Standard: The not-for-profit’s objective is to provide the highest quality and most compassionate care to those they serve. By continuing a tradition of mission-driven, consumer-centered management and competent, hands-on care, not-for-profits set the standard in the continuum of housing, care and services for the most vulnerable Americans.

Mission-Driven Values: Not-for-profit organizations manage their financial resources in accordance with their missions. Many of these housing and service providers were founded by faith-based and civic groups of rich tradition, and their long-standing values are reflected in their governance and management. They are not driven by daily pressure to increase their “bottom line” for owners, investors or shareholders. Quality, not earnings, is the barometer of a not-for-profit organization’s efforts.

Accountability: Not-for-profit organizations are accountable to voluntary boards of directors who donate their time and talent to ensure that ethical management, financial integrity and quality services are maintained. Not-for-profit finances are always open for public inspection; with such information readily available on the Internet, the information is literally at our fingertips. Not-for-profits have a responsibility to be active, contributing members of their localities.
