During a visit to a nursing home, an Ombudsman noticed that several residents were using oxygen concentrators. The filters on the concentrators were clogged and failing to provide the proper amount of clean oxygen to the residents. The Ombudsman was able to ensure that the facility staff cleaned the filters, avoiding a potentially life threatening situation.
