During a visit to a residential care facility for the elderly, an Ombudsman noticed that one of the residents required a complex medical device. According to care facility regulations, the care facility staff must receive training to properly use the medical device to protect the health of the resident. The facility staff had not been trained, so the Ombudsman worked with the licensing agency to ensure that the training was received quickly.
