ABOUT ... CAPITOL
OMBUDSMAN PROGRAM
____
Christian Counseling
Services of Georgia
(CCSGA) was
established in April
of 2012. CCSGA began
by offering
counseling services
to the Atlanta metro
community and in a
short period of
time, we built a
reputation of
providing affordable
counseling to
individuals from all
walks of life, rich
or poor, regardless
of their religious
beliefs. CCSGA
became a nonprofit
counseling service
in 2015, dedicated
to helping
individuals
struggling with the
challenges and
difficulties of
life.
In 2016 as a result
of restructuring
CCSGA became the
provider of the
Capitol Region of
the Georgia
Long-Term Care
Ombudsman Program.
This program had
been previously
administered for
many years by the
Atlanta Regional
Commission in
conjunction with the
Atlanta Legal Aid
Society. The Long
Term Care Ombudsman
Program is mandated
by the Older
Americans Act and
Georgia law. The
LTCO's goal is to
provide advocacy
services to
residents of long
term care
facilities. The
Long-Term Care
Ombudsman Program
will be mostly
funded through
limited State,
Federal and local
dollars; but
additional funding
is needed for this
program to
adequately serve and
monitor this
community of 282
personal care homes,
37 nursing homes, 22
community living
arrangement homes;
with a total of
approximately
12,000+ residents. The
Ombudsman Program,
unlike the
counseling service,
generates no
revenue, as this is
a free advocacy
service offered to
residents of
long-term care
facilities.
Sincerely,
Greg Jolly, LTCO
Coordinator
Capitol Long-Term
Care Ombudsman
