Michigan Long-Term Care Ombudsman Program | (866) 485-9393 | The Long-Term Care Ombudsman is an advocate for seniors living in Dearborn's residential care facilities. Residents who can't resolve disputes with the owners and managers of their facilities can call on the support of the ombudsman, who will investigate their complaints and pursue a satisfactory solution. The ombudsman also investigates complaints made by others, except complaints that suggest criminal behavior, such as elder abuse, which are passed on to the proper authorities. |

It provides many medical services, including primary care and assistance for seniors who can be treated by neurologists, obstetricians, dermatologists and podiatrists.

It's the place to go for seniors who want information about various benefits, including Medicare and Medicaid. The agency can also support caregivers and help seniors plan for their long-term care. Where it doesn't offer direct support, it refers seniors to local nonprofits who can help, such as attorneys who specialize in elder services and don't charge for consultations. |
