If your community holds a license — Assisted Living, Behavioral Health, or Skilled Nursing, Hospice or Adult Day— this one's for you. We're bringing the regulators and the innovators into the same room for a full day built around what's actually changing in your world.
The morning opens with the NCIA Board walking through new educational requirements and what they mean for your teams. From there, we're thrilled to welcome PainChek, a company doing extraordinary work helping caregivers recognize pain in people who can't tell you where it hurts. This matters everywhere — dementia care, adult day, hospitals, any setting where communication is a barrier to good care. If you've ever wondered whether someone is in pain and had no way to know for sure, this session is going to change how your team approaches that question.
In the afternoon, Deputy Director Odette Colburn and her team from licensing will spend the full afternoon walking through licensing updates. Wherever you sit on the licensing spectrum, this is the room to be in.
