Did You Know?: The Colorado Long-Term Care Ombudsman Program and the Legal Assistance Developer Program work together to protect and promote the rights of Colorado's older adults and to improve their quality of life. Both programs are administered by Disability Law Colorado under a contract with the CO Dept. of Human Services Division of Aging & Adult Services. The two programs operate in conjunction with the 16 regional Area Agencies on Aging (AAA) to coordinate services statewide.
