Long term care questions are still welcome

By Mandy Weston, Lake Cumberland District Ombudsman

There is a little known program in every state mandated by a 1978 amendment to the Older Americans Act. It is the Long-Term Care Ombudsman Program. Its goal is to help assure that long-term care facility residents live harmoniously and with dignity, feeling free to voice complaints or concerns without reprisal.

In these unprecedented times The Long-Term Care Ombudsman Program is unable to visit long-term care residents, but the program is still available to support residents and families by phone or by email.

Please contact the ombudsman with any long-term care questions or concerns you might have. The Lake Cumberland Long-Term Care Ombudsman can be reached at (800) 264-7093 or mandy@lcadd.org.
