@drgeriatrics: What happens when you have concerns about your loved one’s care in a nursing home or assisted living facility and nobody seems to be listening? As a geriatrician who has worked in nursing homes, I’ve seen how important long-term care ombudsmen can be. These independent advocates help residents understand their rights, address concerns about care, and navigate difficult situations, including involuntary discharges. Their services are FREE, and every state has a program. Find your local Long-Term Care Ombudsman through eldercare.acl.gov or call 1-800-677-1116. Save this video. Share it with someone who has a loved one in long-term care. And follow for more resources every family should know about. #Geriatrician #NursingHome #CaregiverSupport #ElderCare #ResidentRights
