Experts will share how SIL providers can navigate these updates to ensure compliance while enhancing care quality.

The conference will address challenges related to staffing, care delivery, and maintaining a balance between SIL operations and the unique needs of SDA participants.

Sessions will cover how to overcome financial challenges, particularly when faced with vacant SDA homes, and how to build a sustainable financial model for SIL services.
