The Home Care Ombudsman serves as
an advocate, mediator, and problem-solver for
persons receiving services from licensed home
health care agencies and/or hospice services. The
home care ombudsman also investigates complaints
of abuse or inadequate or poor services in
the areas of care which the senior or their family
has not been able to resolve with the provider
agency. The home care ombudsman can also
provide a list of licensed and approved providers.
All reports of abuse and neglect are confidential.

for Better Long Term Care at 785-3340.
The Alliance for Better Long Term Care promotes the quality of life for residents of nursing
homes and other long term care facilities through
the Building Bridges program. Building Bridges is an intergenerational program which places students
in social contact with residents of long term
care facilities. Children regularly visit area nursing
homes and develop a warm, natural relationship
with the residents and the residents offer the children
a different perspective on the lessons of life.
