About Us:  OMBUDSMAN SERVICES OF CONTRA COSTA

The mission of Ombudsman Services of Contra
Costa is to champion the rights of seniors to age
healthfully through advocacy and action in Contra
Costa County; to advocate for residents in long
term care facilities and low income seniors at
home to insure that:

• Residents receive all rights afforded to them as
  citizens and as specified by law.
  
• Low-income seniors receive assistance in
  managing their money so that bills are paid and
  money isn't lost through unscrupulous schemes.
  
• Residents can move back home from long term
  care facilities to age healthfully in a higher
  functioning setting.
  

Ombudsmen act as advocates for seniors in
nursing homes and residential care facilities.  We
resolve complaints, uphold residents' rights and
investigate abuse that occurs in long-term care
facilities.
