The State of WIsconsin Board on Aging and Long Term Care has a Volunteer Ombudsman Program. Our program is looking for compassionate volunteers to spend 1-3 hours a week at a local nursing home visiting with residents. Ombudsmen are advocates for the residents and are the "eyes and ears" of the regional ombudsmen. You will at times be the "voice" of a resident with concerns or help the resident resolve any concerns on their own. Volunteers are provided ongoing training and an orientation to their facility. If you would like to work with and help this vulnerable population, please call us today! 1800-815-0015. View our website at https://longtermcare.gov or email Mary.Lemay@wisconsin.gov
