October 17, 2025

Summary

The court held that the nursing-home defendants established the existence of a written arbitration agreement affecting interstate commerce and that Jeanne failed to prove Ernest was either permanently incapacitated or temporarily incapacitated when she signed it. Because the evidence showed dementia and fluctuating cognition but did not establish incapacity at the relevant time, the court reversed the order denying arbitration and remanded. The opinion contains no separate writings.
