Ombudsman Program

The Long-Term Care Ombudsman Program serves residents in Adair, Cherokee, McIntosh, Muskogee, Okmulgee, Sequoyah, and Oklahoma Ombudsman ProgramWagoner counties in Long-Term Care Nursing Homes, Assisted Living, and Residential Care Facilities.  An Ombudsman helps improve the quality of life and quality of care available to residents.  An Ombudsman is a person who receives complaints from residents, families or concerned citizens, and attempts to resolve those complaints within the facility.  The Ombudsman has the authority to explore problems and recommend corrective action.

Local volunteers committed to empowering, improving and enriching the lives of institutionalized older persons are a big supportive part of the Ombudsman Program.

Our goal is to have volunteers in each facility in our seven county areas to work with the residents, facility and surrounding community.  The EODD/AAA provides local supervision, training, and support for the volunteers along with additional support from the State Ombudsman Program staff.  Training in skills such as problem solving, communication, the aging process, state and federal regulations and laws provided by the Local Ombudsman Supervisors.  Recruitment for volunteers in continual and interested parties can reach one of the local supervisors for further information.

Counties in green represent the sub-state district of EODD.

The Eastern Oklahoma Development District (EODD) is a cooperative council of government dedicated to improving the quality of life in Eastern Oklahoma. EODD serves as an extension of the staffs of local governments that don't have adequate full-time staffs of their own or the state expertise required to meet the mandates of federal and state government.

EODD is a voluntary association comprised of local governments. It's a partnership in planning and development. District membership includes city, county and conservation district entities within Adair, Cherokee, McIntosh, Muskogee, Okmulgee, Sequoyah, and Wagoner Counties and Indian Nations.
