CONFLICT OF INTEREST STATEMENT

Conflict of interest may exist where a prospective Ombudsman's interests and personal, work or financial relationships may compromise their ability to objectively and fairly advocate for residents in Long term care institutions. The Ombudsman Program is committed to avoiding any real or perceived conflicts of interest in exercising its advocacy responsibilities.

The following standards apply both to the Ombudsman and her/his immediate family members and have been developed by the California Department of Aging's Office of Long term Care Ombudsman in order to avoid conflict of interest concerns:

Not be employed by a Long term care facility within one year of being certified as an Ombudsman;

Not be involved in the administration or ownership of a Long term care facility;

Not own or have financial interest in a Long term care facility, or receive any money or in-kind payment, or receive any gifts for providing services;

Not be involved in licensing or certification activities;

Not engage in providing services with conflicting responsibilities, e.g. discharge planner or pre-admission specialist;

Not be assigned to a facility type (e.g. RCFE or SNF) in which a person has previously been employed within one year of being certified as an Ombudsman;

Not be assigned as an Ombudsman to a facility where a relative or close friend is a resident;

Not participate in activities that might negatively impact ability to advocate effectively for residents.

Final interpretation and determination as to whether a conflict of interest exists rests with the Office of State Long term Care Ombudsman, California Department of Aging.

I have reviewed the above principles and attest by signature that to the best of my knowledge that I do not have a conflict of interest in becoming a certified Ombudsman.
