Advocate for Long Term Care Residents (Ombudsman)
Advocate for residents of Franklin County and North Quabbin nursing homes/rest homes and help them have better quality of life. This is a flexible volunteer opportunity that will enable you to make a meaningful contribution to your fellow community members.
