This
annual CLE focuses on current and emerging issues related to long-term care,
particularly in the assisted living and nursing
home settings, that are
of interest to Elder Law attorneys and related professionals as well as
the clients they serve.
Get a pulse of what is going on in
long-term care facilities from the Minnesota Department of Health (“MDH”) and
medical professionals working in the long-term care setting. MDH will
provide an update on the successes, concerns, trend, and items Elder Law
attorneys should know related to new assisted living licensure that began on
August 1, 2021, including MDH surveys of the licensed facilities as an indicator
of understanding of new regulations as well as the new process for the
termination or non-renewal of housing or services of residents. A Director
of Quality Improvement, Education & Risk Management in the nursing home and
assisted living settings will discuss navigating short staffing crises in the
long-term care settings as well as continued COVID-19 considerations and some
adjustments that may become more permanent. A Medical Director of several
nursing homes and formed Director of Hospice will give an overview of hospice as
it relates to the long-term care setting, including transparency of information
to residents and their families regarding hospice and coordination of care
between and among long-term care and hospice
staff.
In addition, as time allows,
information on currently proposed legislation that may impact long-term care and
general tips for attorneys in light of emerging issues will also be
summarized.
This CLE sponsored by the MSBA Elder
Law Section will address these topics to help elder law attorneys and
professionals navigate legal concerns on behalf of older and vulnerable adults.
Suzanne Scheller, Esq. will moderate a panel of three professionals who will
each present on emerging issues in their area of
knowledge.
