Join assisted living and Home Plus professionals from across the state for a full day of education, inspiration, and connection at the 2026 Assisted Living Conference. The day begins with networking and vendor engagement, followed by an energizing keynote from nurse, comedian, and storyteller Nancy Norton, who will share how humor and playful presence can strengthen teams, reduce burnout, and renew joy in long-term care.
Attendees will gain timely insights during an HCBS Panel Discussion, featuring experienced providers sharing real-world challenges, strategies, and opportunities in home- and community-based services. The afternoon continues with a leadership-focused session from Spencer Morris, encouraging organizations to move beyond retention and toward meaningful investment in their workforce.
The conference also offers tailored breakout sessions for both Assisted Living and Home Plus providers, including interactive, scenario-based discussions led by KDADS state licensed only surveyors.
