    Description

    Aging is everybody's business! Over 60% of people living in nursing homes do not have any family or friends visit them... this is why our job is so important! We act as advocates and speak on behalf of the residents. Residents have rights and deserve to expect excellence in their care! Help us fight for them.

    We work with individuals receiving long-term care in our communities wherever they live; including Nursing Homes, Assisted Living Facilities, and some Group Homes in Ohio Region 2. We serve in Champaign, Clark, Darke, Greene, Logan, Miami, Montgomery, Preble, and Shelby Counties.

    In 2024 our Ombudsman Associates (OA) reached 1,287 residents. Join our team of dedicated advocates and be the voice of those receiving long-term care! Become a Certified Ombudsman Associate!

    The Long-term Care Ombudsman Program Volunteer Coordinator, Dotty Young, can be reached through Volunteer Match or by phone at (800) 395-8267 or (937) 223-4613 (extension 109)
