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
Scheller, Esq. will moderate a panel of three professionals who will each
present on emerging issues in their area of knowledge.
This CLE is approved for credit through May 26,
2025.
