WA State Long Term Care Ombudsman Training (SW Region)

Save to Favorites

The Long-Term Care Ombudsman Program (SW Region) is seeking compassionate individuals to visit and provide outreach to residents residing in assisted living, memory care, adult family and nursing homes.
A visiting volunteer Ombuds educates resident's regarding their rights, empowers residents to seek resolution regarding concerns with staff, and problem-solves for those unable to take action. We seek reasonable accommodation for a resident's care and quality of life.
The pandemic has caused grief, loss, and trauma for many residents, and your presence can make a difference in the lives of these remarkable people.
If you have a few hours a week to spare and a desire to make a difference, then our program is for you!
We offer a flexible schedule, mileage reimbursement, appreciation events, and a great team atmosphere.
Our next required 36-hour certification training is scheduled for April 14, 17, 21, 24, 2023.
We follow strict infection control guidelines with our resident visits, and do not visit residents in LTC homes experiencing a Covid-19 outbreak.
We hope to hear from you and thanks for your time.
