Description

Let’s “taco ‘bout care”—specifically, how we can better care for residents by staying on top of licensing requirements and avoiding common violations. Join Russell Misiak, Maria DeBacker, Garret Peters, and Andrea Moore for a flavorful deep dive into the most frequently cited rule violations in Adult Foster Care (AFC) and Homes for the Aged (HFA) facilities.

On the AFC side, we’ll explore current licensing regulations, insights from 2024 renewal inspections and complaint investigations, and upcoming changes to administrative rules. You'll walk away with practical tools to help spice up your compliance efforts and enhance care for residents.

For HFA providers, we’ll serve up updates on licensing expectations, increased workforce background check audits, pending rule changes, and refreshed license renewal options.

This session blends regulatory updates with real-world application—because great care starts with understanding the rules of the kitchen.

Learner Objectives:

  1. Identify upcoming changes to administrative licensing rules for both AFC and HFA facilities.
  2. Recognize the most commonly cited violations and learn strategies to maintain compliance for AFC and HFA facilities.
  3. Review current background check requirements and laws in HFA settings.
