Long-term care ombudsman program
    Ohio’s Office of the State Long-term Care Ombudsman advocates for people receiving home care, assisted living and nursing home care. Paid and volunteer staff work to resolve complaints about services, help people select a provider and offer information about benefits and consumer rights.
    Ombudsmen do not “police” nursing homes and home health agencies.
    Instead, they work with providers, residents, their families and other representatives to resolve problems and concerns. Ombudsmen are advocates who provide a voice to the needs and preferences of clients.
    Ombudsmen link residents with services or agencies, offer advice on selecting long-term care providers, inform consumers about their rights and provide information and assistance with benefits and insurance.
    You can get involved. The Ombudsman Program recruits and trains volunteers who visit assigned nursing homes on a weekly basis. Volunteers provide a voice for nursing home residents and serve to lessen the isolation and loneliness experienced by many residents who have no one to speak on their behalf. Volunteers also help to educate residents about their rights, thus empowering them to become more vocal in resolving their own complaints and concerns.
    Training is available through the Area Agency on Aging, District 7. For more information, call 800-582-7277, or visit  http://aaa7.org/p_ombudsman.htm.[[In-content Ad]]
