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!
COVID has put a spot-light on Nursing Homes, and the struggles the residents have every day with their personal care. Those living in Nursing Homes have been the most vulnerable to this insidious infection. Help us reach out to them. 2023 brings new opportunities for residents and their families to be heard in the State of Ohio. We are making history through Governor Mike Dewine's Nursing Home Task Force. Join our team of dedicated advocates and be their voice! Become a Certified Ombudsman Associate!
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.
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)

About Long-Term Care Ombudsman Program
Location:
11 West Monument Ave, Suite 606, Dayton, OH 45402, US
Mission Statement
Our mission is to empower consumers receiving long-term care services to expect excellence, no matter where they live, and assist them with complaint resolution when requested.
Description
If you are looking to make an impact for the older adults in our community, join our team. In 2024 together we reached 1287 residents receiving Long-term Care. Did you know 60% of nursing home residents have no visitors, no one to see, hear, or speak up for them. Some residents even self-isolate for many reasons. We need to make sure they know we are there for them. Please consider joining our team and help our consumers, receiving long-term care, know someone cares. Ombudsman Associates, our volunteer advocates, seek to enhance the quality of life for long-term care consumers living in nursing homes, assisted living homes, group homes, and those consumers living out in the community. They help our team educate residents, family members, and friends about the resources available to them through the Ombudsman program and about the Residents’ Rights. We cover Champaign, Clark, Darke, Greene, Logan, Miami, Montgomery, Preble and Shelby Counties. Veterans and retirees encouraged to apply.
