Ombudsman Volunteers
Advocate for those in long-term care
A long-term care ombudsman is a trained volunteer who advocates for the rights and well-being of people living in nursing homes and assisted living facilities. As a volunteer ombudsman, you’ll work with residents, families and facility staff to help ensure that residents can live a life of dignity, respect, choice and as much independence as possible.
