Advena Living of Clay Center Joins Statewide Initiative to Improve Nursing Home Care

KDADS

Advena Living of Clay Center was one of 43 nursing homes across Kansas to implement the SNF Clinic quality improvement program offered by the Kansas Department of Aging and Disability Services (KDADS) and the Center for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS).

SNF Clinic is a web-based platform that provides nursing home staff with easy access to essential education and care resources. This initiative aims to enhance staff training, improve resident care, and elevate overall facility performance through an advanced electronic learning management system.

Long-Term Care Consultants, the developer and owner of SNF Clinic, has collaborated with CMS and 20 states to provide this system to thousands of nursing homes through the CMP Grant Program. This federal initiative reinvests penalties assessed against nursing homes into programs that directly benefit residents, reinforcing a commitment to improving long-term care standards.

The Kansas SNF Clinic project is scheduled for three years, with regular progress and performance reports published on the KDADS website.
