Florida's Long-Term Care Ombudsman Program


  • Mission

    "The mission of the Florida Long-Term Care Ombudsman Program is to improve the quality of life for all Florida long-term care residents by advocating for and protecting their health, safety, welfare and rights"

    About Us

    Florida’s senior citizens have earned dignity, love and support. Unfortunately, some seniors who live in long-term care facilities experience inadequate care that jeopardizes their health and quality of life. Often afraid or unable to advocate for themselves, these seniors need an advocate-someone to be a voice for the voiceless. What they need is an ombudsman.

    What is an Ombudsman?

    An ombudsman is a person who investigates and attempts to resolve complaints and problems. Our ombudsmen are advocates for people who live in nursing homes, assisted living facilities and adult family care homes.

    What sets us apart is that our sole focus is on the resident. Where other groups are bound by regulations, we can get creative. We can be consistent. We can visit as often as we like and build impactful relationships that get real results.

    Cause Areas Include

    • Community Development
    • Disability
    • Human Rights & Civil Liberties
    • Legal Assistance
    • Seniors & Retirement
