  • Ombudsman

    The Long-Term Care Ombudsman Program is authorized by the federal Older American Act. This is a state and federally mandated program that has both paid staff and fully trained volunteers. The State of Louisiana contracts with the Calcasieu Council on Aging to provide the Ombudsman Program. The Calcasieu Council on Aging Ombudsman program serves long-term care facilities in six parishes (Calcasieu, Cameron, Beauregard, Allen, Jeff Davis and Vernon). These facilities include nursing homes and assisted living facilities. This program is designed to ensure that residents of long-term care facilities receive the best possible care and that their rights are protected and promoted.
