(Long-Term Care Ombudsman)

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. The facilities in LTCO’s area have approximately 32,200 beds.

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. LTCO
received a grant in 2011 from the Plain Dealer Charities Holiday Spirit program
to fund additional resources needed by some HOME Choice consumers.

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