Easterseals – Long Term Care Ombudsman Program

The long-term care ombudsman helps people who receive long-term care in their homes, an assisted living facility, or a nursing home. Ombudsman staff help solve problems with providers and services. They also help consumers understand their rights and access benefits. The program advocates for excellence in long-term services and supports wherever consumers live. Ombudsmen do not regulate nursing homes and home health agencies, but do work with providers, residents, their families, and other representatives to resolve problems and concerns. Easterseals of Central Ohio is the sponsoring agency for the ombudsman’s office in Region 6 and Region 8.

• Region 6: Delaware, Fairfield, Fayette, Franklin, Licking, Madison, Union, and Pickaway counties
  (614) 345-9198
• Region 8: Athens, Hocking, Meigs, Monroe, Morgan, Noble, Perry, and Washington counties
