Marquette Elder’s Advisor Symposium
Elder Care SNAFU? Long-term Care After the Deficit Reduction Act of 2005
Thursday, March 29, 2007
9:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. (with reception to follow)
Marquette University Alumni Memorial Union
3rd floor Ballroom
The Deficit Reduction Act (DRA) of 2005 is a complex piece of legislation that instituted controversial changes to government assistance in nursing home and home care payments, particularly those affecting chronically disabled elders of modest means. On Thursday, March 29, 2007, the Marquette Law School Elder’s Advisor is hosting a symposium to analyze the DRA and how it affects long-term care. Four speakers who are experts in elder law and long-term care will present papers at the symposium critiquing and analyzing the DRA, while two panels following the speakers will react to the presentations and discuss the challenges posed by the DRA in Wisconsin and other states. Practicing elder law attorneys, long-term care facility administrators, law students, law professors, scholars, and anyone interested in long-term care policy should register for this unique opportunity.
The conference has been approved for 6 CLE credits.
