Answer:

To oversee the quality of local long-term care facilities

Step-by-step explanation:

Long-term care ombudsmen are advocates for residents of nursing homes, board and care homes and assisted living facilities. Ombudsmen provide information about how to find a facility and what to do to get quality care. They are trained to resolve problems. ( I am a Licensed Nursing Home Administrator and have worked with ombudsman, and have explained to residents and staff the purpose of an ambudsman}
