ONTARIO — YOU Can Make a Difference – The Long-term Care Ombudsman (Advocate) Program, sponsored by the Ohio District 5 Area Agency on Aging, addresses concerns relating to the quality of long-term care services between consumers and nursing home and Assisted Living providers to ensure services are being provided appropriately.
Ombudsman Associates are trained volunteers who visit with residents to provide them with information about the Ombudsman Program and their rights. Associates also assist in handling uncomplicated complaints and are a voice for individuals who cannot voice complaints themselves. This volunteer opportunity is unique and more than just a friendly visitor.
