Pamela Kaufmann and Diane Marie O'Malley Speaking at LeadingAge BOLD 2025 Annual Conference & Expo

Few fields are as labor-intensive or as heavily regulated as senior care, and few fields have been more challenged in recent years by labor shortages, wage increases, COVID, and other pressures. In a lively interactive panel discussion, two seasoned attorneys, one in senior care and one in labor and employment, will explore several of today's workforce challenges. Topics will include PAGA claims, remote work, political speech on the job, extracurricular communications at work, use and abuse of social media, breaches of confidentiality of protected health information, tipping, private duty care, abusive families and residents, joint-employer status, and no-hire and no-solicitation clauses in agreements. The panelists will comment on the interplay between regulatory and employment issues and recommend best practices to help reduce members' workforce (and regulatory) headaches.
