Questions families ask

What does New York's Long Term Care Ombudsman actually do, and is it really free?

The Long Term Care Ombudsman Program investigates and helps resolve complaints for residents of nursing homes and assisted living/adult care facilities, and advocates for residents' rights. It is free, independent of any facility, and acts only with resident consent.

Call Erie County Department of Social Services Adult Protective Services at (716) 858-6877, or the statewide New York abuse-reporting line at 1-844-697-3505 (8:30am-8pm, NY only). Call 911 if someone is in immediate danger.

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.
