In this session, a diverse group of legal scholars will help reimagine how the law might support both older adults and care providers by challenging common assumptions about caregiving relationships. Specifically, participants will challenge assumptions about the identity of caregivers, the scope of caretaking responsibilities, compensation for care providers, and the impact of traditional approaches to caring for older adults. Topics of discussion will include: (1) the role and legal treatment of non-family care providers, especially in relation to care for LGBT elders, (2) the “taboo” needs of care recipients including needs related to sexual intimacy; (3) the “myth” that surrogate decision-making and guardianship protects older adults; and (4) the Medicaid program’s hidden penalties for those who employ family members as care providers.
