AGENDA

 

  • There will be an overview of general activity of the Patient Advocate Unit.

 

  • There will be a presentation by Ms. Yvette Boisnier, LMSW, SBU School of Social Work, and Director of Family Service League (FSL) Ombudsman Program of Suffolk County. The FSL, founded in 1926, is committed to providing a wide safety net of programs to empower individuals and strengthen families, and provides a number of vital programs that provide advocacy for aging seniors.

The Long Term Care Ombudsman Program protects the rights and improves the quality of life for long-           term care residents in nursing and adult homes and assisted living facilities. Their work focuses on reforming long- term care policies and investigating resident’s complaints.  Everyone in Suffolk County is eligible for these services if needed. Please join us as Ms. Boisnier informs and guides the committee on how to best utilize these services for Suffolk County residents and their families. The Ombudsman is a member of the healthcare team working to optimize the Long Term Care experience.

 

If you will be joining us for this meeting, please let us know in advance if you will need an accommodation that will make the event accessible to you.
