When we are unable to manage our own lives or those of a family member at home, assisted living and nursing facilities are options. However to ensure that we still have our rights, Idaho’s Long-Term Care Ombudsmen are available to protect our health, safety, and welfare, when residing in a facility.

The Ombudsman duties are to:

Advocate for the rights of residents
Investigate complaints
Provide consultations
Visit each facility at least once per quarter
