[Post - OCT] National Home Care Conference

Hiring and firing decisions are some of the toughest calls you’ll make as a leader in the home care industry. When done right, these decisions can strengthen your agency, but when mistakes are made, they can create lasting challenges and legal risks.

Here is a sneak preview of what I’ll be sharing at my breakout session at the upcoming Home Care Association of America’s National Conference:

Don’t ignore your intuition! You spent years honing your intuition as a business leader – it’s an asset! Many employers often lament after being sued by a former poor-performing employee that their intuition told them to not to hire them in the first place.

If repurposing a tried-and-true offer letter or agreement, always double-check to ensure that it’s tailored for the new employee (e.g., don’t use an “exempt” offer letter for a “non-exempt employee”).

Make an internal record of your decision to terminate – emphasize objective issues, and if the issues are subjective, articulate the objective impact on the business.

At my presentation, I’ll be giving away the new Airpods Pro 3! I’ll also be at the PierFerd booth. Please stop by to say hello, continue the conversation, and enter a drawing for a $250 Massage Envy gift card.

Feeling proud of my partner and the incredible team at PierFerd. ⚖️

They secured summary judgment for Egnyte in a patent infringement case in the District of Delaware.

Kudos to the team for leveraging their knowledge to achieve this decisive victory.

✅ Recap: HCAOA Connecticut Chapter Conference

For those who were unable to make it to the HCAOA Connecticut Chapter Conference on September 10, 2025, we had a lot of content on a number of issues affecting home care in Connecticut. This particular session covered:

• USDOL’s proposed roll-back of the companionship and live-in regulations
• How Connecticut’s Paid Sick Leave Law applies to home care agencies
• Strategies to reduce exposure, control costs, and avoid litigation

It was a great opportunity to connect with industry leaders and share insights that impact the home care community.

If you would like a copy of all the slides from the conference, just message me.
