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.
