Day In Topeka

June 5, 2020

Virtual Event 9:00 AM to 3:00 PM

Our next Day-in-Topeka and Board of Adult Care Home Administrators (BACHA) Board meeting will be a virtual event and is scheduled for Friday, June 5, 2020 from 9:00 am until 3 pm.

As of January 22, 2015 new AITs will be required to participate in at least one "Day-In-Topeka" session. These sessions coincide with the BACHA meetings and participants have the opportunity to observe BACHA proceedings as well as receive an introduction to a number of agency and association partners in the adult care field.

Our Day begins with "Infomercials" by as many of the Long-Term Care Network who are available. Some of these people/organizations include KDADS, Kansas Long-Term Care Obudsman Office, LeadingAge Kansas, Kansas Health Care Association [KHCA/kcal], State Surveyors. This also gives you an opportunity to meet other AITs face-to-face and "compare notes."

Our agenda includes a break for lunch from 12:00-1:00 PM.

At 1:00 PM, the BACHA Board [Board of Adult Care Home Administrators] will meet. This group is the regulatory Board for all administrators & always has some interesting topics to discuss.

If an administrator has been the subject of a formal complaint, a sub-committee of the BACHA Board called the Complaint Investigatory Committee will meet & conduct a hearing regarding the allegations, right before we adjourn for lunch. While this is an unfortunate situation, if it happens, it is a good experience for future administrators to be familiar with this process. The BACHA meeting will end no later than 3:00 PM. 

Links and handouts will be provided the week of May 25th.
