Agenda - 06-01-2023; 4 - Discussion on Possible Merging of Adult Care Home Community Advisory Committee and Nursing Home Community Advisory Committee

Browse Search

2 Nursing Home Community Advisory Committee Members are appointed by the Board of Commissioners to all positions. Autumn Cox is the Regional Ombudsman assigned to Orange County through the Triangle J Council of Governments (TJCOG). Prior to any appointment, Autumn Cox vets applicants. If a qualified applicant is selected, that individual must attend State mandated training and must pass the course before being recommended for appointment. There is an initial one-year training term, with subsequent eligibility for two additional three-year terms. The Committee helps to maintain the intent of the Residents' Bill of Rights, promotes community involvement and provides public education on long- term care issues. The members of the Committee make visits to facilities at least four times per year. After completion of the visits, the team members of both committees prepare a State report of their findings during the visit. The report is then presented at the regular Committee business meetings. The report is discussed and a vote is taken to gain approval of the report. The Ombudsman then formats the report for submission to the County. The information is then published on the County's website for public view.
