Downtown/Mile Square specifically

Downtown families often prioritize proximity to a specific hospital system over neighborhood character, since several major systems have campuses within walking distance of each other here.

Visit twice, at different hours

A scheduled mid-morning tour and an unannounced 7 p.m. drop-in can look like two different buildings. Evening and overnight are when staffing thins and when families are most often surprised.

Eat a meal there. Talk to a resident's family member in the parking lot rather than one the community introduces you to.

You can check any facility's record free. Use the Indiana Long Term Care Survey & Inspection Public Search (hoosierusa.isdh.in.gov) and, for nursing homes, CMS Care Compare. Read the full explanation →

Questions families ask

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.

Is the ombudsman the same as filing a state licensing complaint?

No, they're two different systems. The ombudsman advocates for an individual resident; the Indiana Department of Health investigates regulatory complaints and can take enforcement action against a facility's license. Using one does not preclude using the other.
