Long Term Care Ombudsman (LTCO) is part of a national network
of organizations that advocate for people who use long term care services. This includes consumers receiving care in facilities such as nursing homes, assisted living (also known as residential care) and adult care homes (small group living), and your own home.

LTCO also helps with concerns related to community-based long term care services such as home health care, home delivered and congregate meals, and hospice care, and billing issues including those related to Medicare and Medicaid.

We are the voice for long term care consumers.

There are no fees for any of our services. LTCO is funded and supported by:

Western Reserve Area Agency on Aging distributes long term care ombudsman funds that come from the federal Older Americans Act and the Ohio Department of Aging.

Nursing Home Bed Fees – all licensed long term care facilities pay fees each year which are then distributed to area ombudsman programs based on the number of beds in each area. LTCO’s area has approximatly 31,700 beds.

United Way of Greater Cleveland – currently funds LTCO for a special project related to expansion of our Provider Data Base (PDB) of long term care services by adding home health and hospice providers.

Foundations – LTCO has benefited from grants from several area foundations. These include the Cleveland Foundation, the Abington Foundation, the Mt. Sinai Foundation, the Stocker Foundation, and the Bruening Foundation.

Individuals & Corporations – generous contributions help LTCO to continue to provide our critical services for the community.
