A decision of a Connecticut appellate court, Bloomfield Health Care Center of Connecticut v. Jason Doyon (Conn. App. Ct., No. AC 40281, Oct. 9, 2018) should serve as a cautionary tale for guardians. In that case, a nursing home brought suit, outside of the guardianship court, against a guardian for failure to timely file a Medicaid application. The lower court dismissed the action for lack of privity but the appellate court reversed and remanded.
