Emerging Issues in Long-Term Care

Remote Only Event. Online registration is closed. To register, please email Tram Nguyen at tnguyen@mnbars.org .

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.
