1  In FY23, 27 of the program's 56 clients responded to the survey. The increase in performance is likely driven by a higher proportion of clients responding that they have adequate funds for medical care and clothing.
2  Several internal and external factors affected the ability of the Ombudsman Program to resolve complaints in FY23: a decrease in Staff Ombudsmen; a decrease in Volunteer Ombudsmen; and the dissolution of the County's licensing and enforcement agency for nursing homes.
