         LONG TERM CARE OMBUDSMEN


        The goal of the Office of Ombudsman
        is to appropriately refer any question,
        concern, or request a citizen might
        have. Our office takes pride in accu-
        rately and efficiently navigating South
        Carolinians to the proper state agency or resource equipped to handle their needs.
        The Office of Ombudsman acts as a facilitator in guiding citizens to the government
        resource that will address their issues. We listen to problems facing constituents across
        the State of South Carolina.
        The Office of Ombudsman identifies and eliminates service deficiencies and
        continuously seeks to improve the delivery of state government services to the citizens
        of South Carolina.
