Long-term care (LTC) ombudsmen are advocates for resi-

dent rights. They help protect the quality of life and quality

of care of anybody who lives in a nursing home or an as-

sisted living facility.

Ombudsmen can be volunteers or paid employees of agen-

cies that are independent of any long-term care facility.

Services are free, confidential and available statewide.

What Does an LTC Ombudsman Do?

Some of the ways LTC ombudsmen help nursing home and assisted living residents include:

Listening to residents and family members when they have concerns or issues.

Telling residents about their rights.

Protecting resident health, safety, welfare and rights.

Helping families learn about nursing homes and how to pay for them.

Ombudsmen work to solve problems and make sure state regulations and laws protect residents.

How Do I Become an LTC Ombudsman?

People who live in nursing homes and assisted living facilities may have little or no contact

with the outside world. Many feel they lack control over their lives. A volunteer LTC ombuds-

man who visits regularly can be the highlight of a resident's day and ensure residents get good

care.

If you have a passion for helping others, a caring spirit and a willingness to learn, we need

you! Become an ombudsman and help improve the quality of life and care for residents in a

facility near you. We provide training, tools and ongoing support.
