14-C. The Landscape of Emerging Risks in Aging Services

Providers of aging services operate in an increasingly complex legal and regulatory environment, and 2026 is likely to bring a range of challenges that warrant close attention. This session will outline emerging legal risks across the continuum of care, including litigation trends, evolving standards of care, contract and disclosure liabilities, survey and enforcement patterns, workforce and employment exposure, technology and data-related concerns, and potential scrutiny of nonprofit tax status and community benefit. Presenters will also examine how policy developments at the Internal Revenue Service, the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services, the Department of Justice, and the Federal Trade Commission could influence provider operations and accountability. Don’t miss this forward-looking assessment, which will help your organization’s leadership assess risk, align strategy, and prepare for what may lie ahead.
