Stand By Me KABC celebrated its 40th year in style during its annual Stand By Me fundraising event in October. KABC honored Mrs. Lee Ketzel as one of the “Band of Six” who, along with Petey Cerf, founded this organization in 1975. Other Founders were Harriet Nehring, Jessie Branson, Katie Pyle, and Bryona Wiley. On hand for this celebration were Founder family members: William Dann, Elizabeth Dann Jones & son Colin Wells, Charles Cerf, Pauline Cerf Alexander & her daughter Margaret Farley Honored with National Advocacy Award The National Consumer Voice honored Margaret Farley for leadership with the Toby Edelman Legal Advocacy award. Farley was recognized for the outstanding advocacy she has performed on behalf of elders and better quality care. She was honored at the NCV’s conference in Arlington, VA in November. For more than three decades Farley has been a dedicated advocate, providing leadership at the national and state levels and on behalf of individual elders harmed by poor care. Farley pursued better elder care first as a bachelor’s level nurse, and as both volunteer and executive director with KABC. She provides leadership nationally on various work groups, and served as President of NCCNHR (now Consumer Voice) in the 1990s. Farley, now a lawyer pursues justice for elders who have suffered harm due to poor care.

Options for filling the budget deficit are few: further cuts to State programs vs. raising revenues through changes in the tax structure. Since the governor has said he is not interested in making changes to the tax structure, we can expect further discussion around cuts to service programs serving elders, such as Medicaid. Throughout the process, KABC will advocate for policies that promote improved health outcomes and quality of life for Kansas elders and responsible oversight to assure safe long-term care. KABC legislative priorities for the 2016 session include: 1) Advocate for long term care services which deliver improved health outcomes and quality of life for older adults. Improving nurse staffing levels in nursing homes remains KABC’s highest priority. Legislation was introduced during the 2015 session to raise the Kansas nurse staffing minimum to a safe care standard of 4 hours and 26 minutes to avoid injury, illness and death of elders. The current standard of 2 hours/per resident/day, is inadequate and has not been updated since 1980. HB 2201, remains alive for 2016 in the House Children and Seniors Committee. Adequate nurse staffing is central to all indicators of quality nursing home care. Kansas ranks among the states with the highest use of anti-psychotic drugs to chemically restrain residents with dementia related behaviors. The high usage of these drugs is directly related to low staffing, making it an important outcome measure of quality care. Kansas is 47th worst in the U.S. in usage of anti-psychotics drugs on elders. KABC stands for adequate funding of home and community-based long term services and closely monitors the KanCare/Medicaid demonstration program. The State’s most Page 4 recently published Medicaid Assistance reports show that 1500-1600 fewer older adults are being served in nursing homes and at-home through KanCare than were served prior to its adoption in 2013. And, this at a time when the older adult population is significantly on the rise. 2) Advocate for responsible government oversight of long term care services serving frail elders. Vigorous oversight and enforcement of state and federal laws which govern care in nursing home is another measure of quality. KABC is raising the concern of the continuously increasing lag time between nursing home inspections. The State is required by law to annually inspect every nursing home every 12 months on average. The State’s current average is nearly 16 months. Due to the State’s tardiness in inspecting facilities, elders in poor performing facilities suffer poor care and the facilities avoid making corrections for an additional four months. This quality indicator, combined with a chronically understaffed inspection unit causes serious concerns around the quality and safety for nursing home residents. KABC is calling for funding to assure adequate staff to inspect nursing homes’ compliance with federal and state law within the required timeframes. Older residents’ health and safety are at risk without compliance oversight and enforcement. 3) Advocate for access to dental and mental health services for older adults. KanCare and Medicare provide for limited oral health care for adults but does not address the specific needs of elders such as routine oral care or for gum disease, maintenance or dentures. Serious health conditions may occur due to the lack of care, such as chronic, unchecked, infection resulting in falls, confusion, delusion, dehydration and malnutrition from the inability to chew food. KABC works in coalition with mental health advocates to assure access to affordable mental health services. KABC is on Facebook! “Like” us for information about long-term care in Kansas.

The following information is reproduced from KDADS’ records, and is the most current made available to KABC as of Oct. 30, 2015. Notations such as payment denial, or terminate provider agreement are recommended remedies made by KDADS to Center for Medicare/Medicaid Services (CMS) and does not mean it is imposed or provider agreement’s are terminated. CMS may impose the stated remedy if a nursing facility doesn’t substantially comply by the date noted (KABC does not receive notice of compliance). If CMS decides a remedy is warranted, a nursing facility receives formal notification. An abbreviated survey is an investigation resulting from a complaint. Nursing facilities may appeal these actions, until a final settlement agreement is reached with KDADS. Nursing facilities listed here are having problems with regulatory compliance, and should be scrutinized carefully before making placement decisions. If you’d like further clarification call KABC toll-free, 800-525-1782. Questions regarding the accuracy of this information or compliance status should be directed to KDADS, 800-432-3535.
