Welcome to
NursingHomeConcerns.Com the newly created internet presence of the KIPDA District Long Term Care Ombudsman Program in the Metro Louisville, Kentucky area.
The website is made possible due to a generous $5,000 grant from the Foundation for a Healthy Kentucky as part of the Foundation’s Community Grants Program. The grant has allowed us to design, launch and operate an Internet website offering a useful source of reliable and unbiased information to persons seeking information about nursing or personal care homes.
We hope the site will provide practical guidance on how to select a long-term care facility, how find help with problems, and how to deal with poor care providers and facilities. The new website will enhance the work of the KIPDA Long Term Care volunteer and professional Ombudsman staff in Louisville.
The KIPDA LTC Ombudsman Program was among 23 organizations receiving a Community Grant from the Foundation for a Healthy Kentucky, which was created in 2001 to address the unmet health care needs of Kentuckians. The Foundation’s grant-making strategy seeks to address the unmet health care needs of the people of Kentucky through strategic initiatives designed to improve health status and access to care, with influencing public policy as a key component for fostering permanent change.
NursingHomeConcerns.com is part of our initiative to broaden our efforts in areas of public information, education and advocacy for residents in long term care facilities.
We are also active in community efforts to reduce elder abuse and to identify and prosecute perpetrators. The KIPDA District LTC Ombudsman Program serves Bullitt, Jefferson, Oldham, Shelby, Spencer and Trimble Counties.
