Who qualifies as a "long-term care ombudsman"?

A Individuals working for elder law firms
B Local ombudsman coordinators certified by the Department of Aging
C Health care administrators
D Volunteers from the community

The correct answer is: B Local ombudsman coordinators certified by the Department of Aging

The designation of a "long-term care ombudsman" is specifically aligned with individuals who have been trained and certified to advocate for residents in long-term care facilities. These coordinators play a vital role in ensuring that the rights of residents are upheld, addressing grievances, and providing information on access to services among other responsibilities. These professionals typically operate under the auspices of the Department of Aging, which provides the necessary training and certification to effectively fulfill these roles. Individuals working for elder law firms, health care administrators, and community volunteers do contribute to the broader fabric of support for the elderly, but they do not have the same specific training or official capacity to act as ombudsmen. While their contributions are valuable, the unique qualifications and responsibilities held by certified local ombudsman coordinators are essential to the role of protecting and advocating for the needs of residents in long-term care facilities.
