Older people are mistreated more often than we think due to the lack of supports for older people in our communities.  Get involved in creating a stronger society that safeguards our communities and prevents abuse. To advocate for the rights of those in long-term care communities, including VA homes, volunteer to become an Ombudsman.  For more information call 800-309-3282 or visit health.mo.gov/ombudsman

Long-Term Care

Long-Term Care is a variety of services that help people with health or personal needs and activities of daily living over a period of time. The fact is, 60 percent of people over 65 will need some type of long-term care. Long-term care does not mean a complete loss of independence or control over your life. The keys to owning your future are planning early and wisely, knowing your options, and taking action. It is about living well.
