Medford, OR 97501
Special Note: Volunteers are returning to providing in-person visits at long-term care facilities at this time! Specific precautions are still in place due to Covid 19 to ensure everyone's safety. We are currently providing online training, so now is a great time to apply! (In-person/hybrid training coming soon.) As we have seen through this crisis, Ombudsmen are needed more than ever. The mission of Oregon’s Long-Term Ombudsman program is to protect individual rights, enhance quality of life, improve care, and promote dignity for residents living in licensed long-term care facilities. Many residents have no one to watch out for them, or speak up when things go wrong; call lights go unanswered, meals arrive cold, or medications are given incorrectly. The need for Ombudsmen volunteers is great throughout the state, and we are looking for at least 7 volunteers for Jackson County. Ombudsman don’t make decisions for the resident, or act as their legal representative, or provide care. It is our role to inform the resident of their rights, and then act upon their decision. In the case of a resident who might be suffering from dementia or Alzheimer's, our advocacy takes shape in a different way. A six-day online training will be scheduled for those who successfully complete the application process. Become someone who can help be a problem solver and advocate for many who cannot speak for themselves. Call the office at 971-600-6149 for more information or apply online by clicking this link: https://form.jotform.com/201555656015048.
