Ohioans being cared for in the state's skilled nursing facilities are among the most vulnerable. An Ohio program seeks to help those in long-term care by providing an ombudsman or advocate to help residents with complaints and problems large and small. Ahead we will talk about Ohio's Office of the State Long-Term Care Ombudsman and the effort to recruit more volunteers.
