The MSBA Elder Law Section sponsors this annual CLE focusing on current and
emerging issues related to long-term care, particularly in assisted living
and nursing home
settings.
Two main issues have imminent and significant impact
on long-term care in Minnesota: 1) COVID-19; and 2) assisted living
licensure. Vaccination against COVID-19 in long-term care settings is mostly
complete, and guidelines and best practices are once again shifting rapidly. The
introduction of assisted living licensure effective August 1, 2021 has
implications for the state health department, residents, and providers that are
important for attorneys and the public to
understand.
Deputy Ombudsmen from the Minnesota Office of the Ombudsman for Long-Term Care will identify
trends in the impact of COVID-19 and upcoming assisted living licensure
upon residents of long-term care facilities,
specifically addressing visitation, terminations, and discharges. The Health Facilities
Section Chief and the Interim Reconsideration and Policy Manager of
the Minnesota Department of Health will address impacts of COVID-19 and plans
for implementing and monitoring the transition to assisted living licensure. The
President of an assisted living provider in greater Minnesota will share a
provider’s perspective on the transition to assisted living licensure, including
changes necessary to comply with license obligations and anticipated impact on
residents.
Throughout the CLE, the moderator and
panelists will introduce tips for attorneys helping their clients navigate these
issues. The CLE will also offer updates on any significant developments in
pending legislation impacting long-term
care.
