This annual CLE focuses on current and emerging issues
related to long-term care, particularly for our aging population and those
living with disabilities, whether living in their own home or in a facility
setting. The topics are those of interest to Elder Law attorneys and
related professionals as well as the clients they serve. The CLE will
consist of five panelists discussing certain areas related to long-term care,
moderated by Suzanne Scheller, Esq.
Attendees of Emerging Issues in Long-Term Care will receive information on
key areas affecting those receiving long-term care and services from the
Minnesota Department of Human Services (“MDHS”). MDHS will provide an
update and information on the following four key areas that are on the move that
currently are or will impact many of the clients served in Elder Law: 1)
Medical Assistance for Employed Persons with Disabilities (“MAEPD”); 2) Waiver
Reimagine; 3) Roll out of MN Choices Revision assessment; and 4) Medical
Assistance Unwinding. We are grateful to MDHS for providing four panelists
with depth of knowledge in these four areas to share important and current
information with us, as well as what to expect in the future. Questions
can be shared to suzy@schellerlegalsolutions.com
prior to the CLE to focus the content as able.
In addition, the current Task Force on Aging, approved by the legislature
last year, has convened and is engaging in a robust conversation with a variety
of professionals and individuals regarding issues facing our aging
population. We will receive an update on the current Task Force
discussions and possible future considerations for the legislature.
Finally, as time allows, we will hear about various bills making their way
through the legislature that may affect Minnesotans receiving long-term
care.
This CLE
sponsored by the Elder Law
Section will address these topics to help elder law
attorneys and professionals navigate legal concerns on behalf of older and vulnerable
adults.
