The Long-Term Care Ombudsman Program would like to express our sincere gratitude for our Veterans and their families this Veterans Day. We thank you for your service, sacrifice, and the dedication you have selflessly given for our country. Did you know there are 8.1 million veterans in the United States are 65 or older? This makes up nearly one-half (49%) of all veterans! For more information on advocating for Veterans in your area, please call 800-309-3282.
