AAA7 Long-Term Care Ombudsman Program ready to serve
To the editor:
May is Older Americans Month.
The Long-Term Care Ombudsman Program at the Area Agency on Aging District 7 (AAA7) serves some of our most vulnerable older Ohioans.
The word “ombudsman” may not be familiar to everyone, but the mission of the Long-Term Care Ombudsman Program is simple – we advocate for Ohioans receiving long-term care. Whether in nursing homes, assisted living, adult group homes, or through in-home services, ombudsmen empower, educate and advocate for individuals to have a voice in the quality of their care and daily living.
If you or your loved one has a concern or question about long-term care, you can reach your local ombudsman at 800-582-7277 or ombudsman@aaa7.org
Sincerely,
Jamie Neely
Ombudsman Program Director
