Among the services the state offers to those in long-term care and family members is a Long-Term Care Ombudsman Program.
The Long-Term Care Ombudsman Program is a resource that can help those who believe they are having issues with care, rights or problems with transfers and discharges.
In addition, because loneliness can be a suicide risk factor and older adults may be hesitant to reach out to other prevention hotlines, it is important to know about the Institute on Aging’s 24-hour Friendship Line. This is a crisis line can be reached by calling 1-800-971-0016.
