Long Term Care Ombudsmen help when residents or family members have questions and concerns about the rights of persons in long-term care; quality of care or treatment from a care service provider; appeals regarding transfers, discharges, discontinuance or changes in services; and billing and charges, including those covered by Medicare and Medicaid. They regularly visit long-term care facilities to check on conditions and care.
Long Term Care Ombudsman will make every reasonable effort to assist, advocate and intervene on behalf of the resident.
The Colorado Department of Human Services has a web page with more details about organization and services provided by the Colorado Ombudsman program.
