Our Mission
Improving the lives of our Long-Term Care Nursing Home, Personal Care
Home and Community Living Home Residents through issue solutions and projects focusing on their care and quality
of life.
The Reason We Serve
Many programs for
the elderly and other residents of long-term care facilities provide minimal services. The McIntosh Trail Ombudsman
Program in Georgia has worked for over 18 years to provide advocacy for daily concerns and extra necessities for Residents
of nursing homes, personal care homes, and community living arrangements for the developmentally disabled. Long-Term
Care Residents, as all citizens, have the right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. Ombudsmen strive to ensure
those rights are not violated. The McIntosh Trail Ombudsman Program and its Advisory Board, through the MTHCEG/StarDust
Foundation, provide extras beyond daily health care... we think of it as quality of life care.
The People We Serve
The McIntosh
Trail Long-Term Care Ombudsman Program provides services to individuals in Nursing Homes, Personal Care Homes and Community
Living Arrangement Homes, serving the elderly and/or disabled as well as developmentally disabled and mental health Residents. The Ombudsmen visit the area facilities to assure the Residents are receiving proper
care and that their rights are not being violated. The McIntosh Trail Ombudsmen cover seven counties, visiting approximately
107 facilities, serving over 2100 Residents.
Services Provided
The funds raised by the Foundation assists Residents in obtaining new teeth, hearing aids, glasses, clothes, hair &
nail care, special or updated equipment, legal and health related services, communication devices, computers and/or software, and
etc. We also provide two annual community activities: The StarDust Ball and Dinner Dance every spring and a Winter Holiday
Luncheon (with Santa Claus and the trimmings) each December.
