What the contract does that the tour does not

Questions families ask

What's the practical difference between calling the ombudsman and calling NYSDOH's complaint line?

The ombudsman advocates for an individual resident and can help resolve a dispute or attend a care conference, but cannot license, inspect, or fine a facility. NYSDOH's Metropolitan Area Regional Office ((212) 417-5990 for Adult Care Facilities, (212) 417-4999 for nursing homes) investigates regulatory complaints and can take enforcement action.

Is contacting the ombudsman free, and will it cost my family anything?

Yes, the Long-Term Care Ombudsman Program is entirely free and independent -- there is no cost to a Staten Island family for contacting CIDNY's program or the statewide LTCOP hotline, and using the service does not create any billing relationship or fee.

Can the ombudsman attend a care planning conference with my parent's facility?

Yes -- with the resident's consent, an ombudsman representative can attend a care planning conference or similar meeting to help ensure the resident's own preferences are represented and heard, particularly in situations where family and facility staff see the care plan differently.
