Help residents of nursing homes and assisted living facilities advocate for their rights, resolve conflicts and improve their quality of life. The Northern Virginia Long-Term Care Ombudsman Program needs volunteers who can commit a minimum of four hours a week for one year. Volunteers set their own schedules with visits usually occurring between 8 a.m. and 6 p.m. on weekdays. Volunteers receive training and continuing support.
Apply now to attend the three-day initial training on September 13, 14 and 23. Call 703-324-5861 or 703-324-5422; TTY 703-449-1186 or e-mail lisa.callahan@fairfaxcounty.gov.
Find out why so many of our volunteers say, “I receive so much more than I give!”
