Our Story
Easterseals Central and Southeast Ohio is the official Ohio State Long-Term Care Ombudsman sponsoring agency, for the Region 6 Long-Term Care Ombudsman Program. As mandated by the federal Older Americans Act and Ohio law, the Long-Term Care Ombudsman Program advocates for excellence in long-term services and supports wherever consumers live.
Ombudsmen do not regulate nursing homes and home health agencies, but do work with providers, residents, their families and other representatives to resolve problems and concerns.
The Region 6 Long-Term Care Ombudsman serves eight counties in Ohio including: Franklin, Delaware, Fairfield, Fayette, Licking, Madison, Pickaway, and Union while also advocating for MyCare Ohio consumers in Clark, Greene and Montgomery counties. Ombudsman staff and volunteers focus their time on educating consumers of long term care services and supports and their families, empowering them to know their rights and to voice their conerns. Here in Region 6 our inter-generational team of paid staff and volunteers are committed to advancing person-centered care and preserving resident rights.
