LTCOP: Long Term Care Ombudsman Program
The LTC Ombudsman Program serves as an advocate and resource for persons who reside in long-term care facilities, such as nursing homes and assisted living centers. Ombudsmen help residents and their families understand and exercise their rights through empowering, educating and advocating. Working with the resident, the Ombudsmen try to resolve and effectively address concerns within the facility which impact health, safety and quality of life.
