They are unaware of what services are available or exactly what their rights are so they remain silent. The Long Term Care Ombudsman Program is an attempt to provide residents a method by which their complaints can be heard and resolved, if possible. The ombudsman serves as a companion, mediator, broker, educator and advocate in his/her role to resolve complaints. The program goals are accomplished through a cooperative approach among providers, regulators, residents, families and the ombudsman.
