Texas Long-Term Care Ombudsman Website: Tough Enough to Care
By nursing-home-lawyer | March 22, 2007
The Texas Long-Term Care Ombudsman Website has lots of useful information. One of the best features is their “Tough Enough to Care” website, where regular citizens can sign up to become volunteer ombudsmen.
Certified volunteer ombudsmen:
- advocate for quality care for residents in Texas nursing homes and assisted living facilities;
- serve the needs of Texas families and our most vulnerable citizens;
- provide information to residents and families about residents’ rights and help identify additional resources in or out of the facility;
- receive special training prior to certification;
- are supervised by professional staff of a local area agency on aging, which is supported by the Texas Department of Aging and Disability Services;
- identify, investigate, and resolve complaints by or on behalf of nursing home and assisted living facility residents; and
- work with the residents, families, friends, and facility staff to improve the quality of residents’ lives.
