Residents' Decision-Making Rights in Nursing Facilities and Assisted Living

Under federal law, residents of long-term care facilities have broad rights to make decisions regarding their lives. This webinar, "Residents’ Decision-Making Rights in Nursing Facilities and Assisted Living", will include information on law and advocacy strategies that enable residents to participate in care planning, control the health care and medication that they receive, accept visitors at any hour of the day or night, and vote in the upcoming elections. In general, the assisted living discussion will apply to facilities that accept Medicaid payment for services. 

Speakers:

• Eric Carlson, Director, Long-Term Services and Supports Advocacy, Justice in Aging
• Gelila Selassie, Director, Health Advocacy, Justice in Aging

Date: Tuesday, September 8, at 2:00 p.m.
