The Long-Term Care Ombudsman Program is a federally mandated advocacy service that is free for nursing home and assisted living facility residents. Ombudsmen protect the Residents' Rights of people residing in long-term care facilities. They act as advocate, mediator, educator, problem-solver, link to community resources and objective investigator of complaints. Ombudsmen can help long-term care residents obtain appropriate legal, social, recreational, physical and emotional services necessary for quality of life. Ombudsmen regularly visit long-term care facilities, monitor conditions and care, and provide a voice for those unable to speak for themselves. Residents, friends, relatives of residents, facility staff members and the community at large can all utilize the Ombudsmen.
