Justice in Aging Webinar Recording: Advocacy Strategies When Nursing Facilities Won’t Allow Residents to Return from Hospitals
Justice in Aging held a half-hour webinar January 30 on, "Advocacy Strategies When Nursing Facilities Won’t Allow Residents to Return from Hospitals."
The webinar explained the relevant federal law and walked through various advocacy strategies to return the resident to their nursing facility home. Advocates learnt about survey agency complaints, administrative hearings, and state-court petitions for injunctive relief (for which Justice in Aging has template complaints and petitions).
The webinar also included how to combat the common problem of a state agency claiming that it cannot force a facility to take back a resident.
Eric Carlson, Director, Long-Term Services and Supports Advocacy was the presenter. The intended audience was advocates and legal aid attorneys working with nursing facility residents and their families experiencing nursing home evictions and “dumping”.
