| Join us on the second and fourth Thursday of each month for Mornings With Member Support, an open conversation space led by Maleia Press, AFHC’s Regulatory Support Director, together with our Member Support team.

While the focus is on regulatory compliance and understanding both state and federal rules, no topic is off limits—bring any question related to AFH operations, resident rights, documentation, surveys, or day-to-day challenges. Whether you’re navigating a complex situation, seeking guidance on best practices, or simply wanting reassurance that you’re on the right track, this twice-monthly space offers supportive, practical answers in a welcoming environment. No CEUs will be offered. |
