The Federal Formula Grant award of $139,784 from the Administration on Aging (AOA), U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, provides funding for the "Special Programs for the Aging, Title VII, Chapter 2, Long Term Care Ombudsman Services for Older Individuals" (CFDA 93.042) program in Iowa. This grant supports the Iowa Department of Health and Human Services in operating the state's Long-Term Care Ombudsman program, which investigates and resolves complaints made by or on behalf of residents in nursing homes and other long-term care facilities. The program aims to protect the rights, health, and welfare of older adults residing in institutional care settings through systematic advocacy and complaint resolution services. The two-year grant award period runs from October 1, 2024 to September 30, 2026.
The Iowa Department of Health and Human Services may sub-award portions of the grant funding to local Area Agencies on Aging, non-profit organizations, and other community service providers to deliver direct ombudsman services across the state.
