The Role of the Long-Term Care Ombudsman Program

in Nursing Facility Closures

“Long-Term Care Ombudsman programs (LTCOPs) have an important role advocating with, and for, residents of nursing facilities that are closing. This guide reviews the federal requirements regarding nursing facility closures, highlights Ombudsman program management and advocacy considerations, and shares additional resources. More comprehensive resources are available in the Nursing Home Closure Toolkit for Ombudsmen and Advocates. The toolkit includes state case studies, examples of letters to residents and families, forms, checklists, and consumer resources.
