About
The State of Nevada, Aging and Disability Services Division is looking for individuals to serve as volunteer long-term care ombudsmen in the Reno/Carson City area.
As a volunteer ombudsman, volunteers advocate for residents in long-term care facilities by:

If you care about seniors, care about improving the quality of life for vulnerable residents living in long-term care facilities and want to ensure that they are treated with respect and dignity, give us a call TODAY!
We have volunteer roles open now in the Reno/Carson City area! Contact Marie Coe by phone at (775) 688-2964 or by email at macoe@adsd.nv.gov for additional information.
