In an op-ed for the Daily Journal, Elder Care Attorney Ed Dudensing details the future of elder care under a new Presidential Administration. Elder care policies are at a critical juncture as America’s aging population grows: By 2030, one in five Americans will be over the age of 65, making the need for robust elder care policies more urgent than ever.
Ed highlights the potential dangers of the Trump Administration’s approach to senior care, pointing to deregulation efforts that have weakened safety standards, including reduced penalties for violations and rollbacks of protections against chemical restraints. Ed warns that the reversal of previously implemented reforms could further jeopardize the safety and well-being of elderly Americans, calling for stronger oversight and accountability, regardless of political party, to ensure vulnerable seniors receive the care they deserve.

Ed Dudensing recently authored a column for the Daily Journal discussing how litigation holds nursing homes and private equity firms accountable for declining care standards. He highlights the growing trend of private equity ownership in elder care, which prioritizes profits over resident well-being, leading to higher rates of neglect and adverse health outcomes.
Dudensing also emphasizes that litigation is crucial in exposing these failures and pushing for accountability. Successful lawsuits not only address individual cases but also drive regulatory reforms, ensuring that elder care facilities prioritize quality care over profit.
