Action Alert – Contact the Governor
Governor Kelly’s Chief of Staff publicly confirmed to a senate committee this morning that the Governor will veto any legislation that gives liability protections to adult care homes. If you have not yet contacted the Governor now is the time to do it. The Governor Must Hear From Us.
If you have contacted the Governor, thank you. Please consider asking others who support our cause to do the same.

New Tool/Resource
Many members are being contacted on a regular basis from family members and residents about when your buildings will reopen to guests. Since we haven’t been given the official go ahead by KDADS to start opening, LeadingAge Kansas has developed a template letter for you to use to communicate this with families. View the Template Letter to Families on When Kansas Nursing Homes Will “Reopen”.
LeadingAge Kansas, KHCA and KACE are conducting a PPE survey.
Please take the survey by the end of the day tomorrow, June 5th.
