Welcome to NASOP

The National Association of Long-Term Care Ombudsman Programs (NASOP) amplifies the voices of residents living in long-term care facilities – bringing their experiences from facility settings to the policymakers who can create change.

Since 1965, the Older Americans Act (OAA) has been the foundation of our nation’s commitment to supporting older adults. For six decades the OAA has empowered aging services, protected the rights of older people, and strengthened programs like the Long-Term Care Ombudsman Program.
