The Topic: For consumers and many attorneys, long-term care is relatively unchartered territory. They may not realize the often significant discrepancy between a facility's current policies and legal obligations. Eric Carlson will describe common problems and provide practical tips for advocating on residents' behalf. He will also discuss significant trends in the provision of long-term care, noting both opportunities and potential pitfalls.
The Presenter: Eric Carlson is the Director of the Long-Term Care Project of the National Senior Citizens Law Center (NSCLC). He advises attorneys and others from across the country on long-term care issues and co-counsels litigation on resident's behalf. He is the author of numerous publications including Long-Term Care Advocacy (Lexis Publishing) and NSCLC's bi-monthly Long-Term Care Law Reporter.
The Event: The lecture is free and open to the public. A reception will follow.
