The Office of the Attorney General continues to focus its attention on senior living providers in Michigan. Using real life examples, we will present assisted living providers with the tools to identify areas where they may have exposure to litigation or regulatory risk. What policies and procedures should you be implementing to limit your exposure? What steps should you take to respond after an adverse event that may lead to litigation? This presentation also will examine potential changes to the adult foster care regulations that would have a significant impact on the day-to-day operations of these facilities.

Nurse Learner Outcome: At the conclusion of this session, participants will self-report a knowledge gain of potential regulatory and litigation risks and how to mitigate these risks through internal policies, procedures, and practices on the post event evaluation.
