Assisted Living Case Study

In the case study the authors present some very troubling facts that lead to some legal issues surrounding the director of an assisted living facility. One of the first issues surrounding this facility is the constant innuendo’s that corporate managers recite to members of the facility where they exclaim that “Silver Oak should be a “youth oriented company,” as well “there was “no room for dead wood” (Walsh, 2013, p. 96). Based on this explanation from the text it is evident that this corporation has no regard for their tenured employees.

Based on these facts the only aspect of this case that can be considered against the director is the original claim against her for termination. Secondly, the Judge should administer a fine for their actions and require that the extended living facility amend their management system and require them to provide plausible evidence that they have corrected the violations of employment law and verify that these corrective actions are working and in
