WEBINAR | Emerging Issues in Long-Term Care

Due to the current COVID-19 situation, all bar association programming is currently REMOTE-ONLY participation. There is NO in-person attendance.

Deadline to Register: April 21, 2020

This annual CLE focuses on various 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.  Issues related to long term care are increasingly viewed as a public health concern.  This has never been truer than today, amid the CoVid-19 pandemic where those of advanced age, with compromised immune systems, and living in a congregate setting, are at greatest risk for infection and death.  This year’s panel is viewed as especially timely and the content able to accommodate primary and secondary issues related to the CoVid-19 virus as they continue to emerge.  This year’s panel topics include the pandemic’s effect on persons receiving long term care services and health care professionals as well as the technology being used; update on rulemaking for the new assisted living license; a physician’s perspective on capacity, and proposed guardianship/conservatorship legislation in Minnesota.

The Minnesota Department of Health will provide an update on current rulemaking efforts to attach content to the assisted living license legislation passed last session, including a public comment period this spring. Attenders will learn about the delivery of long-term care to older adults during the CoVid-19 pandemic, including emerging best practices in the provision of care, infection control, utilizing technology to conduct medical visits and meet service needs, and the experience of loved ones trying to connect with and support persons receiving services.  Panelists will also address capacity, particularly as it relates to guardianships and conservatorships as well as the ability to consent to various actions or items.  The history and background of currently proposed legislation in Minnesota on guardianships and conservatorships will be discussed, including proposed changes in requirements for courts to make findings on less restrictive items and to require notice to interested persons of significant events.

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 five professionals who will each present on emerging issues in their area of knowledge.
