In a letter dated May 14, the Texas Department of Aging and Disability Services (DADS) notified assisted living providers, provider organizations, and surveyors about a conference called, “Clarifying the Myths in Assisted Living Facilities.†The conference will be held on July 19, 24, and 31.
Topics to be presented include aging in place, emergency preparedness, and medication management. For locations and times, you may download the letter here.
DADS reminded nursing facilities (in a May 15 letter) about the need to notify Medicaid clients of increases in their monthly applied income amounts — which resulted from a cost of living adjustment to Social Security benefits in January — pursuant to federal regulations and the state administrative code.
