Opportunity Details
Volunteer Ombudsman
VOYCE is recruiting more volunteers. Join the Team! We are making a difference in the lives of thousands of long-term care residents. Every week, volunteer Ombudsmen drive to a nursing home to spend 2 - 4 hours a week with residents. Too many of the residents, our volunteers are just like family. Some of the residents may not even know that their official title is “Ombudsman”, but what is important is that they know how much our volunteer Ombudsmen care about them and that they are there to help.
As a volunteer Ombudsman, your job is to ensure that the residents enjoy the best quality of life possible. Our volunteer Ombudsmen talk to the residents about their legal rights, listen to their concerns and go to meet with 20-25 residents each week. They encourage them to speak up for themselves and when necessary, meet with the facility staff to encourage a solution. As a volunteer Ombudsman, your job is to ensure that the residents enjoy the best quality of life possible and know that they are cared for.
Time Schedule: You can pick any day of the week and anytime that is convenient for you to visit your residents at the long-term care community. Come as little as two hours or as much as 4 hours.
Age Minimum (with Adult): 18+, Minimum Age:18+
