Questions families ask

My mother lives in a nursing home in Franklin County -- which Ombudsman office should I contact?

Franklin County is not covered by the Central Pines Regional Council office that serves most of the Triangle. Instead, it falls under the Kerr-Tar Regional Council of Governments Ombudsman Program, reachable at 1-866-506-6223 (toll-free) or (252) 436-2050, with a mailing address of PO Box 709, Henderson, NC 27536.

Which counties does the Central Pines Regional Council Ombudsman office actually cover?

The Central Pines Regional Council (formerly Triangle J Council of Governments) Ombudsman office covers seven counties: Wake, Durham, Orange, Chatham, Johnston, Lee, and Moore. Harnett County, though geographically near the Triangle, falls under the Mid-Carolina Council of Governments region (with Cumberland and Sampson counties) instead, and Franklin County falls under the Kerr-Tar region.

What other services does the Central Pines Regional Council Area Agency on Aging provide besides the Ombudsman Program?

Beyond the Long-Term Care Ombudsman Program, Central Pines Regional Council's Area Agency on Aging offers Information and Referral services to help families find aging-related resources, private-pay Options Counseling, and a Veteran-Directed Service Program pilot for eligible veterans who want more control over their home-based care services.
