Guiding Principles
As Michigan’s premier representative of assisted living settings, the MCAL Board of Directors established a comprehensive set of Guiding Principles to guide policy and procedures for the organization and its members.
- Quality of Service should be defined by our members, their residents and the residents’ family members/responsible parties.
- Full disclosure of services, self-regulation and market forces are the best ways to ensure quality of service.
- Members should be involved in legislative policy and regulatory decisions affecting their communities.
- Members should be supported in allowing their residents to choose their services and lifestyles and accept the risks associated with those choices.
- Cost-effective quality services should be delivered in a safe residential environment.
- Creative and flexible venues, approaches and resources should be used to personalize services for each individual resident.
- Visual and procedural characteristics of the assisted living community should emphasize a residential setting.
- The assisted living community, while health-care related, should focus on a supportive environment designed to maintain an individual’s ability to function independently for as long as possible.
- Services, whether provided or coordinated, should be designed to support and enable the resident to “live with choice.”
