The need for advocates for Nursing Home, Assisted Living Centers and Residential Care facility residents remains high. Ombudsman volunteers help provide that advocacy by completing weekly visits with residents where they would inform residents of their rights, listen to resident concerns about others associated with their care, complete informal problem-solving, and support residents and their families with resources and information.
These volunteer tasks not only help improve the quality of life and the quality of care for longterm care residents, but ultimately the quality of life for the community.
