Questions families ask

Can the ombudsman help with a discharge or eviction dispute at an assisted living facility?

Yes — resolving disputes over involuntary discharge, transfer, or eviction from an assisted living facility or nursing home is a core part of the Minnesota long-term care ombudsman's role, and residents or their representatives can contact OOLTC at 1-800-657-3591 for help navigating an eviction notice or appeal.

Who can advocate for a resident who has no family nearby in the Twin Cities?

The Minnesota Office of Ombudsman for Long-Term Care (1-800-657-3591) advocates for any resident of a licensed facility regardless of whether family is involved, and Trellis, the metro's Area Agency on Aging, can connect isolated seniors with care coordination and other supportive services through the Senior LinkAge Line (1-800-333-2433).

Does a resident need a lawyer to file an ombudsman complaint in Minnesota?

No. Contacting the Minnesota Office of Ombudsman for Long-Term Care at 1-800-657-3591 is free and does not require an attorney — the office exists specifically to provide free advocacy and complaint resolution for long-term care residents and their families.
