Many thanks to everyone who was able to attend KABC’s September 10th caregiver training, “Roadmap to Assisted Living & Your Rights.”  State Long-Term Care Ombudsman Camille Russell and KABC Executive Director Margaret Farley did a wonderful job with their presentations.  We are grateful that they shared their knowledge and expertise with us.

If you weren’t able to attend, or if you’d like a refresher, Ms. Russell’s full presentation is now up on KABC’s YouTube Channel.

If you’d like a print version of her Power Point, click here: Resident Rights – Ombuds 2021.

Ms. Farley discussed that assisted living residents do not have the same rights when it comes to appealing a forced discharge from their facility.  KABC continues to work on getting HB2004/Charlie’s Bill passed by the Kansas Legislature.  This handout explains the issue and how important it is for this bill to be passed.
