Testimony: Impact of Covid-19 on Programs and Services for Older Adults and Caregivers in New York State

We focus our testimony on the New York State Long Term Care Ombudsman Program (LTCOP) and its importance to residents who live in long-term care settings, their caregivers, and others. While focused on older adults and persons with disabilities who live in nursing homes, adult care facilities, and family-type homes, as stated below, LTCOP is an essential component in the long-term services and supports system.
