Questions families ask

Who is the Long-Term Care Ombudsman for Nassau County?

Nassau County's regional Long-Term Care Ombudsman Coordinator is Mary Clare Campion, sponsored by Family and Children's Association, located at 377 Oak Street, Fifth Floor, Garden City, NY 11530, phone 516-466-9718. Like Suffolk's coordinator, this office is part of the statewide Long Term Care Ombudsman Program administered under the NY State Office for the Aging.

What's the statewide hotline if I don't know who my local Long-Term Care Ombudsman is?

New York's statewide Long Term Care Ombudsman hotline is 1-855-582-6769. It connects callers to the Office of the State Long Term Care Ombudsman, an independent office housed within the NY State Office for the Aging, which supervises Regional Ombudsman Coordinators, including Suffolk's and Nassau's, across the state.

What kinds of problems should I bring to the Ombudsman versus reporting to Adult Protective Services?

The Long-Term Care Ombudsman Program handles advocacy and complaint resolution for residents already living in a licensed facility, such as a nursing home, assisted living residence, adult home, or family-type home, addressing issues like care quality concerns, rights violations, or disputes with facility staff. Adult Protective Services (APS), by contrast, investigates suspected abuse, neglect, or exploitation of impaired adults living in the community, including those who depend on others for basic needs, and is administered through the county Department of Social Services rather than the Office for the Aging.

Is the Long-Term Care Ombudsman program free, and does it cost anything to file a complaint?

Yes. The Long-Term Care Ombudsman Program is a free, independent advocacy service - there is no cost to contact Suffolk's coordinator (631-470-6755), Nassau's coordinator (516-466-9718), or the statewide hotline (1-855-582-6769). The program is publicly funded and administratively housed within the NY State Office for the Aging specifically so it can operate independently of the facilities it may be investigating.
