Free Webcast: Using the New Toolkit to Fight Nursing Home Evictions

When: Thursday, November 18, 2021, at 11:00-11:45 P.T./2:00-2:45 E.T.

Improper evictions are a long-standing problem in nursing homes across the country. While there are only six legally valid reasons for eviction, nursing homes often evict residents for various invalid reasons, including being “difficult,” needing one-on-one attention, switching from Medicare to Medicaid, and not complying with facility policies.

Legal assistance attorneys and elder rights and aging advocates play an important role in fighting these evictions. Justice in Aging has created an actionable toolkit of resources to help residents and advocates fight back. To educate both residents and professionals, the toolkit includes:

  • Write-ups to identify and challenge eight common evictions;
  • Sample language for use in defending residents in administrative hearings, specifically for attorneys and other advocates; and
  • Templates for state-court injunctive relief actions to force a nursing facility to allow a resident to return after a hospitalization. 

In this training, presenters will demonstrate how to access and use the toolkit and how to apply it to common situations that advocates may encounter.

Presenters:

  • Eric Carlson, Directing Attorney, Justice in Aging
  • Gelila Selassie, Staff Attorney, Justice in Aging

Closed captioning will be available on this webcast. A link with access to the captions will be shared through GoToWebinar’s chat box shortly before the webcast start time.

This training will be presented in a WEBCAST format to accommodate more participants. Due to the high volume of participants, computer audio will be the only option to listen to the presentation. No telephone call-in number will be provided. Please plan accordingly. Thank you. 

This webcast will be recorded and available on our website shortly after the presentation. The recording and training materials will also be emailed to all registrants within a few days after the training.

The webcast will take place on Thursday, November 18, 2021, at 11:00 a.m. PT/2:00 p.m. ET and will run for 45 minutes.
