Do assisted living facilities need to be ADA compliant?

As of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) of 1990, it is illegal to discriminate against disabled Americans in public spaces, and this includes assisted living facilities. Therefore, the simple answer is yes, assisted living facilities must be ADA compliant, though this is heavily influenced by their designation as either a "place of public accommodation" under the ADA or as a housing provider under the Fair Housing Act (FHA).
