Questions families ask

What is the difference between calling Adult Protective Services and calling the Long Term Care Ombudsman?

APS investigates suspected abuse, neglect, or exploitation of a specific at-risk adult, with authority to intervene directly. The Ombudsman advocates for a resident's rights and helps resolve complaints inside a licensed facility, but only with the resident's consent and without independent investigative authority.

Can a facility retaliate against a resident for filing a complaint in New York?

Retaliation against a resident for exercising their rights — including filing a complaint, requesting an ombudsman, or contacting Adult Protective Services — is prohibited. Report any suspected retaliation to the ombudsman and to NYS DOH immediately.

My parent just fell and was hospitalized in Buffalo — what should I do about long-term care in the next 48 hours?

Ask the hospital's discharge planner directly what level of care they're recommending, and don't sign a discharge plan you don't understand. You generally have more time and options than the discharge timeline pressure suggests.

How does discharge planning work differently between Kaleida Health, Catholic Health, and Erie County Medical Center?

Each system has its own discharge planning/care coordination team, but all follow the same general Medicare rules around skilled nursing eligibility after a qualifying hospital stay — ask each hospital's specific team directly rather than assuming one system's process elsewhere.
