Make a difference Ombudsman volunteer training to begin in mid August The Long Term Care Ombudsman Program is offering a State Certified training course beginning in mid-August. If you are interested, you must call to reserve your space for this training session and required interview. Ombudsmen are advocates for long-term care residents in nursing homes and residential care homes. We invite anyone with experience in teaching, nursing, investigative work, legal and negotiating skills, or an interest in advocacy to join. The class covers various aspects of the aging process, conflict resolution, investigation techniques, rules and regulations governing long-term care facilities, residents' rights and community resources and related topics. Ombudsmen learn to respond to residents' concerns in the areas of nutrition, activities, medical care and residents' rights. After completion of the training course, volunteers may be certified to work with the Long Term Care Ombudsman Program and provide a minimum of 14 hours a month of volunteer service. Join the Senior Resource Center's team of Ombudsman volunteers. You can make a difference. Call today 707-443-9747. |
