John G. McDermott, LSW, ACSW, M.Div., has been the State Long Term Care Ombudsman since 1998. Prior to that, he was Director of Social Services at Hale Nani Rehabilitation and Nursing Center for 7 years and held that same position at Maunalani Nursing and Rehab Center the prior two years. Having seen and worked on both sides, Mr. McDermott is an expert on Hawaii's long term care options and will share with us why the LTCOP is no longer effective and what fellow senior advocates can do to strengthen this federal and state mandated program.
