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 professionals and attorneys working in the long-term
care setting. MDH will provide an update on proposed legislation, proactive
measures and lessons learned from investigating maltreatment reports, and the
impacts of staffing shortages in long-term care facilities. Housing is another
focus, with discussion of assisted living termination and appeals process
and examples. In addition, panelists will discuss the application of
landlord tenant law to various settings, subsidized housing, and
legislative updates on housing. Long term care insurance will also
be a focus, with a discussion of enforcement and litigation trends,
including an overview of a current class action and other the successes,
concerns , and trends related to securing coverage, which is needed
now more than ever.
As possible, we will give a broad
overview and update on DHS timelines for renewing medical assistance benefits in
light of the upcoming lifting of the national public health
emergency.
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. Suzanne
