CALA’s 2026 Spring Conference is designed for leaders who want to run excellent homes—not just compliant ones.
We’ll tackle the biggest drivers of resident satisfaction and staff success: food residents actually enjoy, strategies that support sleep and reduce behaviors, meaningful engagement that builds community, and clear guidance on staying survey-ready. Learn directly from industry experts, CDPHE leaders, and behavior specialists—and leave with practical tools you can use immediately. We’ll close the day with a healthcare-friendly comedian, because strong communities are built with both excellence and joy.
