Questions families ask

Which long-term care ombudsman office covers Indianapolis?

Region 8 of Indiana's Long Term Care Ombudsman Program, operated by Indiana Legal Services, covers Marion County and all five surrounding collar counties this site serves -- Hamilton, Hendricks, Johnson, Boone and Hancock -- plus Morgan and Shelby. Reach the regional office at 317-631-9424 or the statewide line at 800-622-4484.

What does a long-term care ombudsman actually do?

An ombudsman advocates for a resident free of charge, and only with the resident's consent. They can attend a care conference with a family but do not license, inspect, or fine a facility -- that is the state health department's job, not the ombudsman's.

Can an ombudsman file a complaint even if my parent doesn't want to?

No. Consent matters: if a parent has capacity and does not want a complaint pursued, that decision stands, even where family disagrees with it. The ombudsman represents the resident's wishes, not the family's.
