Resolving Problems in Nursing Homes
Every nursing home should have a complaint procedure policy. If you have concerns or complaints, ask about the policy and follow the organization's procedures.
If you are still uncomfortable with the situation, you should start with the local Long-Term Care Ombudsman Program. If you have urgent care or safety issues, contact the Ohio Department of Health.

( Operated by Easter Seals under contract with the Central Ohio Area Agency on Aging.) The Long-Term Care Ombudsman Program is empowered by both federal and state government to advocate for residents of adult care facilities, and nursing homes.
