FREE In-Person Breakfast CE “Guardianship and Ethics: How to Avoid Removing Someone’s Rights (Ethics)” at The Terraces at Peachtree Hills Place
March 16, 2023 | 8:30 am-10:00 am ET
The Guardianship/Conservatorship process is a necessary, complicated intersection of our medical and legal worlds. Oftentimes, the healthcare providers are the first to recognize that a patient’s capacity may be questionable. Recommending that a family seek guardianship over their loved one may mean that complex medical issues and intricate family dynamics will be litigated in a courtroom. What ethical implications and unintended outcomes can result from this recommendation? In this CE, Hurley Elder Care Law will offer information on the basics of guardianship/conservatorship, explore the ethical issues surrounding removing someone’s rights, and offer practical alternatives to guardianship. Current information on Georgia’s Advance Directives and Powers of Attorney will also be provided.
CEs available for social workers (ASWB), case managers (CCMC) and RNs (CNA)
