The Missouri ombudsman program Long Term Care Ombudsmen are volunteers serving residents of nursing homes and residential care facilities to provide assistance with problems or complaints. Ombudsmen help when residents or family members have concerns about the rights of older consumers receiving long-term care; quality of care or treatment from a long-term care service provider; appeals regarding transfers, discharges, discontinuance or changes in services; and billing and charges, including those covered by Medicare and Medicaid.
Individual volunteers are recruited by Area Agencies on Aging (AAAs) or their service providers. To find the Ombudsman for your locality, you start by contacting your Area Agency on Aging. You will find a list of Missouri AAAs below.
Senior Help Line
Besides the Ombudsman programs, the state of Missouri provides a complaint contact at the Missouri Division of Senior Services Elder Abuse Hotline, 800-392-0210. The hotline operates 365 days per year from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m.
