What does an ombudsman in nursing homes do?
10 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Lots: Ombudsman's role in any situation is to intercede on your behalf when meeting w/"the man" or the administration. This person helps you understand what's going on and assists you in getting satisfied within the power of the facility/environment. Conversely, this person also helps remind the powers that be that human lives are at stake, not just dollars & cents. It's not easy walking this tightrope.
