What is a Nursing Home Ombudsman?
An advocate and resource for individuals
(and their families) who need the services of a long-term care facility
which includes nursing homes, family care homes, and personal care
homes.
What will it cost?
You pay nothing. The Nursing Home
Ombudsman Agency of the Bluegrass, Inc. is a nonprofit agency. All
services are paid for through gifts and are FREE
to those who need them.
I'm just thinking about moving to a
Nursing Home.
Can you help me?
You bet! Making the decision to move into
a nursing home or other long-term care facility is a new experience for
most folks. We can provide information that will help you know what
questions to ask and how to evaluate the answers when talking to nursing
homes about placement.
I know a nursing home resident who's
having a problem. Can I call you?
Please do! While we attempt to regularly
visit every nursing home resident in a 17-county area of the Bluegrass,
we may not always see what friends or relatives see. It's our job to
help resolve residents' complaints and to represent them.
Can I call you anonymously?
Absolutely! While we may be able to help
you better if we have more information, we are delighted to give you
information, make a referral, or take a complaint from anyone who calls
us. Every call gets action!
How do I reach you?
