Public meetings scheduled on proposed transfer of long term care programs
from SRS to Aging; comments welcome
Public meetings have been scheduled to receive input on a plan being developed
to transfer several long term care programs now operated by the Kansas
Department of Social and Rehabilitation Services to the Kansas Department
of Aging.
Transfer of the following SRS programs to Aging -- Adult Protective Services, Income Eligible Homecare, Medicaid Home and Community Services Nursing Facility Waiver, and Medicaid Nursing Facility -- is scheduled to take place January 1, 1997.
