November 7: Surrogate Decision Making, Resident Capacity, and Consent

Supporting resident rights oftentimes relies on a resident’s family for input.  This two-hour webinar will start by covering the legal aspects of decision-making in Washington state, when a resident living in a long-term care setting cannot make their own healthcare and/or financial decisions.  In addressing capacity as well as consent, the presenters will offer robust dialogue and examples to enhance the attendee’s abilities to advocate for the resident’s safety as well as the resident’s happiness.
