The
purpose of the Washington Long-Term Care (LTC) Ombudsman Program’s Consumer Advocacy Outreach is to advance consumer healthcare education and
to empower older adults and their family
members to make informed long-term care decisions.
"The
overall purpose of the ombudsman program is to promote the interests,
well-being, and rights of long-term care facility residents."
