What is an Ombudsman?

And how can an Ombudsman help me?

People living in long-term care facilities, including nursing homes and assisted living facilities, occasionally need help with support and advocacy.

Ombudsmen advocate for residents and are available to ensure their rights are respected, and their wishes are met. They also provide information to residents and their families regarding facilities and quality care and are trained in problem resolution.

The Vintage Ombudsman Program is here to assist you! All matters are confidential unless you permit us to share your concerns.

Every state is required to have an Ombudsman Program that addresses complaints and advocates for improvements in the long-term care system. Find out more about the Colorado state office here: https://www.coombudsman.org/
