ORGANIZATION: LONG-TERM CARE OMBUDSMAN PROGRAM

  • A group opportunity. Invite your friends.
  • 14 people are interested

During the COVID-19 pandemic, we need connection more than ever especially our long-term care residents. At this time, our volunteers are reaching out to residents and their families virtually (phone calls, video calls, etc) and in-person to let them know that they have someone who can advocate for them especially during this time. This opportunity can be done in the safety and comfort of your home

We are looking for volunteers to reach out to residents and their families in the following counties: Franklin, Delaware, Fairfield, Licking, Pickaway, Madison, Fayette and Union.

"Volunteering as an ombudsman with the Office of the State Long Term Care Ombudsman (OSLCO) has been a great experience. I enjoy spending time speaking with patients and seeing to it they have what they need to live, interact with friends and family, and be safe. Sometimes I am one of the few people who talk with them. There are times when I get thanked simply for calling because they may not interact with a lot of people. During this time, it’s incredibly important to remember the elderly, and to be an ear for them."
