Assisted Living Salary & Benefits Studies: Underway

BY Josh Moore

LeadingAge Partner Hospital & Healthcare Compensation Service (HCS) has opened up participation for the annual Assisted Living Salary & Benefits Study and LeadingAge encourages our members to consider participating. Assisted Living providers are asked to complete the study’s questionnaire by November 10. The results will be published in January 2026.

The study is published by HCS in cooperation with LeadingAge.

Last year’s Assisted Living Report contained data from over 1,067 ALFs/RCFs/PCFs nationwide. The results cover management salaries, nonmanagement wages, and fringe benefits. Data will be reported by region, state, CBSA, revenue size, profit type, and bed-size. Information on eighteen fringe benefits, shift differentials, turnover rates, sign-on bonuses, and other facility/staffing metrics will also be included.

To participate:

  1. Download the questionnaire at: https://www.hhcsinc.com/survey-questionnaires.html
  2. Email your completed questionnaire to surveys@hhcsinc.com.  Should you need additional time to participate, simply email HCS to request an extension.

There is no cost to participate in the studies. LeadingAge member participants may purchase the results at the reduced price of $220, versus the $400 nonparticipant rate.
