Danielle Humphrey Presents CE on "The Ethics of Surrogate Decision Making"
Ridgeview Institute
3995 South Cobb Drive
Smyrna, GA 30080 Map
Please join Danielle Humphrey, JD, CELA, as she presents a free lunch CE on "The Ethics of Surrogate Decision Making: Who’s in Charge?"
Healthcare professionals recognize that dealing with a surrogate decision maker (healthcare agent or next of kin) is often necessary. Yet knowing who is the legal decision maker is not always clear. During the presentation Hurley Elder Care Law will present information explaining the four different types of surrogate decision makers and their necessary legal documents. The discussion will feature a review of ethical dilemmas that health care agents face and examine guidelines for making decisions on behalf of someone else. Through a series of case studies, the presenters will discuss how healthcare professionals sometimes struggle with patient autonomy and informed consent when surrogates are involved.

Please join Danielle Humphrey, JD, CELA for a Complimentary Lunch CE on "VA Aid and Attendance: Making the Most of Your Past Service"
The VA “Aid and Attendance” benefit is one of the VA’s best kept secrets for retired service men and women. War time veterans over 65 or their surviving spouses who are facing the burden of long-term care costs can use the benefit to offset the expenses of in-home caregivers, Assisted Living Community fees and in certain circumstances Independent Living Community fees. The VA has recently implemented comprehensive changes to the rules for qualification. It is now critically important for healthcare professionals to understand the impact of these changes as they assist patients and families with their long-term care options.
