WHCA Webinar: Surrogate Decision Making, What You Need to Know About Washington’s New Guardianship Act, and Changes to Procedures for Obtaining Civil Protection Orders for Vulnerable Adults | AL/ESF/SNF
Thursday, October 26, 2023
COURSE OVERVIEW
The Legislature has been busy over the last few years adopting new laws that change guardianship, vulnerable adult protection orders, and other laws affecting long-term care for residents with diminishing capacity. This webinar will help you learn what you need to know about the changing legal landscape in these areas, including answering such questions as:
- When your resident can’t make his or her own decisions about healthcare and end-of-life care, who holds that authority?
- What do providers of long-term care need to know about the changes resulting from Washington’s “new” Uniform Guardianship, Conservatorship, and Other Protective Arrangements Act, which became fully effective on January 1, 2022?
- What are the new court procedures to obtain protection orders against neglect, abandonment, financial exploitation, or harassment?
