Greater Springfield Senior Services is seeking caring individuals over the age of 21 to serve as volunteer advocates for residents of nursing homes and rest homes.
Ombudsmen visit with residents once a week to listen to their concerns and address issues affecting the quality of their care. They investigate complaints made by residents or family members and work with the facility to resolve them.
The long-term care ombudsman program is a state and federally mandated service for all residents in area nursing homes to ensure that their personal rights are respected and they receive treatment in clean, comfortable environments.
