_Long Term Care Advocacy
_The Long
Term Care Advocacy Program also known
as the Ombudsman Program, offers a special service to
institutionalized individuals in Dorchester, Somerset, Wicomico,
and Worcester Counties. The ombudsman is an advocate for persons
in nursing homes and provides investigation & resolution of
complaints. The ombudsman also mediates disputes, provides
in-service training on topics such as residents' rights,
psycho-social needs, difficult behavior, sexuality,
communication, and dignity, among others.
For older persons or family members who are contemplating nursing home placement, MAC offers literature with guidelines for choosing a nursing home based on the older person's specific needs and interests. Persons seeking information on nursing homes and their performance may examine deficiency reports and consult with the ombudsman at the office.
