Roberta Mueller (TallBerta) was recognized with a Caregiver Award at the 16th Annual Caregiver Awards Luncheon and Silent Auction on December 10, 2010 at the Sheraton Westport Chalet benefitting the LTCOP of Greater St. Louis and Northeast Missouri for her work with the community at Sunrise Assisted Living in Chesterfield; she assists the residents with setting up and accessing email accounts. Staff and volunteers of the long-term care facilities in the LTCOP service area were recognized who demonstrate excellence in patient care and make a difference in the lives of residents.

The Long Term Care Ombudsman Program of Greater Saint Louis and Northeast Missouri (LTCOP) -- a United Way agency -- is part of a nationwide program which began in 1971 in response to public outcry over abuse and neglect in long-term care facilities. LTCOP is the area's premiere advocacy organization in protecting the rights of residents in long-term care facilities and provides support and counseling to individuals, families, and professional caregivers on long-term care needs.
