ORGANIZATION: LTC Ombudsman

  • 8 people are interested

Ombudsmen are trained professionals who are certified by the State of California. Our chief concerns are residents’ rights, dignity, and quality of life. We play an indispensable part in the well-being of people who cannot speak for themselves.

Ombudsmen can be trained volunteers or paid employees of agencies that are independent of any long-term care facility. Services are always 100% free and completely confidential.
