APHA Expert Call-in
Your Clients and Long Term Care or Rehabilitation –
Tapping Into an LTC Ombudsman
Tuesday, October 6
|
|
If your work includes helping older adults who cannot
live independently, or anyone who needs rehabilitative
care following surgery or illness, you’ve probably
encountered clients wondering how to choose a facility
or resolve concerns about care there. Or perhaps you
have visited a long-term care facility and have seen
something that didn’t seem right, but you weren’t sure
how you could help. |
|
|
|
|
Long Term Care (LTC) Ombudsman programs exist in all 50
states and US territories to provide information,
technical assistance, and advocacy for anyone in a long
term care facility. They cover skilled nursing and
assisted living facilities, as well as board-and-care
homes (sometimes called residential care facilities for
the elderly). Ombudsmen are available to help long term
care facility residents as well as anyone in residence
temporarily for rehabilitation or respite (or anyone
representing them).
They can help you help your clients select the right
facility, resolve care or service issues, protect
residents’ rights, and more. Their services are free and
all information is kept confidential.
Linda Beck, BCPA, the principal of Square One Elder and
Health Advocacy and an APHA member, will be our guest
expert for this call. Linda has been an LTC Ombudsman in
California since 2013.She’ll help us understand this
excellent resource more in-depth.
Join us to learn how LTC Ombudsman programs can help you
provide the best service for your clients. |

This handbook along with the
workbook took me step by step beginning with a core
understanding my own strengths. All of the details that we could
easily miss when beginning this venture are covered. No reason
to re-invent the wheel. Trisha Torrey has given us directions
and a wonderful, strong base to build our business on. |

Covers all you need to know
to start in private practice as a health advocate and get a good
start. It doesn't shunt off financial and business requirements
amidst a plethora of hype.
This book is just what I needed. |
|
|
|
|
|
Excellent book and I highly
recommend to anyone starting a new business of any kind. Trisha
writes with whimsy and fact and once you start you can't put it
down. LOTS of wonderful how-to's. She takes you from how to
develop your thoughts about your business to the marketing of
your business. I can't say enough positives about this book. If
you're thinking about getting this...GET IT! |
