[WSBARP] memory care liability

[Sangeeta Saigal]

Wendy,
Is the Memory Care Unit part of an Adult Family Home, Assisted Living or Nursing Home?  Depending on the Care Facility and the Assessment Care Plan the remedies and reporting structure may differ.  Also, is this a private pay or Medicaid client?

Thanks,
Sangeeta

A colleague’s family member walked out of a memory care unnoticed three times because of lack of sufficient supervision by staff.  The police had to be called each time to find this person on the street.  Is there a lawyer who deals with breach of contract claims or other types of liability as a memory care facility?
