Cases

Carlson v. Extendicare Health Servs., 2006 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 51351 (D. Minn. 2006)

Carlson was employed by Extendicare and filed suit under the Minnesota Whistleblower statute following an alleged constructive discharge. The court found that, although she would be eligible to bring a whistleblower claim, there was no constructive and dismissed her case. Nonetheless, the case is interesting because it describes Extendicare’s management practices and its “do not send” policy relating to hospital admissions.
