Questions families ask

What is the difference between the ombudsman and a facility licensing complaint?

The ombudsman advocates for an individual resident's care, rights and discharge concerns and cannot license, inspect or fine a facility. The Ohio Department of Health investigates regulatory complaints and can take licensing enforcement action, but is not an advocate for a specific resident's preferences.

Can the ombudsman act on my behalf if my parent doesn't want a complaint pursued?

No. The ombudsman acts only with the consent of the resident or their legal representative. If a parent with capacity does not want a complaint pursued, that decision stands even when family members disagree.

Is there a fee to use the Long-Term Care Ombudsman program?

No. The ombudsman program is a free, independent advocacy service, funded through the federal Older Americans Act, the state of Ohio, grants and local funding sources like United Way.
