Expands scope of Office of State Long-Term Care Ombudsman.
The bill expands the scope of the Office of the State Long-Term Care Ombudsman to oversee all long-term care facility residents, not just the elderly. It updates statutory references and removes references to "patients" and "clients." The ombudsman must make reasonable efforts to obtain the phone number and email address of the person named on a consent form. The ombudsman may withhold notification if the person was a party to the abuse or exploitation.
