Care options in Carmel

Questions families ask

What does a long-term care ombudsman actually do?

An ombudsman advocates for a resident free of charge, and only with the resident's consent. They can attend a care conference with a family but do not license, inspect, or fine a facility -- that is the state health department's job, not the ombudsman's.

Can an ombudsman file a complaint even if my parent doesn't want to?

No. Consent matters: if a parent has capacity and does not want a complaint pursued, that decision stands, even where family disagrees with it. The ombudsman represents the resident's wishes, not the family's.

Is the ombudsman the same as filing a state licensing complaint?

No, they're two different systems. The ombudsman advocates for an individual resident; the Indiana Department of Health investigates regulatory complaints and can take enforcement action against a facility's license. Using one does not preclude using the other.

Not sure where to start?

Answer five questions and a local advisor will come back with senior care options in Carmel that actually fit your situation and budget. It is free, and there is no obligation.
