Day In Topeka
June 3, 2022
Virtual (via Zoom) 9:00 to 3:00
Our next Day-in-Topeka and Board of Adult Care Home Administrators (BACHA) Board meeting is scheduled for Friday, June 3, 2022. This will be a virtual event from 9 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 Ombudsman Office, LeadingAge Kansas, Office of the State Fire Marshal, and KDADS.
Our agenda includes a break for lunch from 12-1. After lunch we will observe a meeting of the BACHA Board [Board of Adult Care Home Administrators] 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.
Our day begins at 9 AM, and we will adjourn no later than 3 PM. Your preceptor is welcome to join you in this valuable day's experience.
