Kansas SB88 requires the state long-term care ombudsman and regional ombudsmen to receive training in memory care. This training covers federal, state, and local laws, investigative techniques, and the needs and rights of long-term care residents with Alzheimer's disease and other dementia. The training also includes strategies for care, communication, and recognizing behavioral symptoms. The bill amends K.S.A. 75-7306 to include these training requirements and repeals the existing section.
