The Nevada Ombudsman Program is called Advocates for Elders. They help frail seniors who are 60 or older with advocacy and assistance. They can help locate and identify resources and services. The services of the Advocate for Elders are free and confidential.
Advocates for Elders might help when residents or family members have questions and 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.
There are three Advocates for Elders (Community Ombudsmen) within the Nevada Aging and Disability Services Division.
Senior Help Lines: These are phone contacts for the Regional Offices of the Aging and Disability Services Division. In addition, the division has a website at Nevada Aging and Disability Services Division.
