Sebelius appointee will work to protect Kansans in adult care homes
Governor appoints Abilene resident to Board of Adult Care Home Administrators

As part of the state’s ongoing effort to protect Kansans in adult care homes, Governor Kathleen Sebelius has announced the appointment of Amy Hoch Altwegg to the Board of Adult Care Home Administrators. 

“We have a duty to protect vulnerable Kansans, and that includes residents of adult care homes.  One way to guarantee Kansans receive the best possible care is to ensure qualified administrators are overseeing these facilities,” Sebelius said.

The Board of Adult Care Home Administrators licenses administrators of adult care facilities, approves continuing education programs and investigates complaints against administrators.

Hoch Altwegg, Abilene, has worked as the executive director of Memorial Health System-Village Manor since 2002.  She is a member of Kansas Association of Homes and Services for the Aging and Kansas Adult Care Executives, and also serves on the Quality of Life Board.  Within the community, Hoch Altwegg volunteers for Big Brothers Big Sisters, Relay for Live and the Abilene Rotary Club. 

Additionally, the following individuals were reappointed:

• William Boldridge, Lawrence
• Wanda Bonnel, Topeka
• Marian Heusted, Topeka

All appointees will serve a two-year term.
