Assistance with Long-Term Care

Dana Gargus is the regional long-term care ombudsman for Kitsap County. Dana and trained volunteers provide long-term carte residents with easy access to a personal, on-site advocate who is mandated to work only on behalf of residents. In Washington state, a LTC Ombudsman:

• Visits their assigned facilities on a weekly basis, spending about 4 hours/week working on behalf of residents;
• Works to resolve issues of resident care, resident rights, family matters, and finances;
• Makes it his/her business to get to know the residents, their families and staff;
• Consults with residents and helps residents get answers to their questions or concerns;
• Refers potential cases of abuse, neglect, retaliation or coercion to authorities.
