Please join Krieg DeVault attorneys Brandon Shirley and Stacy Walton Long as they present a compliance-focused webinar examining the legal framework governing involuntary discharges from Indiana assisted living communities. Statutory criteria, required notices, documentation standards, and expectations of state surveyors will be reviewed. Using lessons from recent administrative appeals, the session highlights why facilities lose cases, including inadequate alternative placements and residents who intentionally avoid cooperation with Medicaid requirements. Attendees will leave with tools to reduce legal exposure and strengthen the defensibility of involuntary discharge decisions.
