The Missouri Office of the State Long-Term Care Ombudsman Program is pleased to present the FFY 2024 Annual Report. The Older Americans Act states the State Ombudsman Office shall independently develop, provide final approval of, and disseminate an annual report as set forth in section 712(h)(1) of the Act (42 U.S.C. 3058g(h)(1).
The annual report contains an analysis of Ombudsman program data, describes problems experience by long-term care residents, recommendations for improvements to quality of care and life, successes of the program and barriers that prevent optimal operation of the program.
Thank you for taking some time to review the annual report and learn more about the important role Ombudsman have in Missouri.
