Advocates for Nursing Home Residents Needed - use your voice and skills to make a difference!

Volunteer Ombudsmen are needed to advocate for, educate, and empower residents in nursing homes and assisted living homes. We’re currently looking for volunteers to join our Long-Term Care Ombudsman Program who will advocate for the rights of residents, choices in care, and compassionate treatment.

This on-going opportunity gives you the flexibility to make visits on your own schedule. Advocates receive on-going training and support from local Ombudsman Staff to make impactful changes in the lives of the people we serve in long-term care.
