Assist: Nursing home volunteering
Adults living in nursing homes, assisted living facilities and adult family homes throughout Snohomish County need the community’s help.
More than 2,500 such residents lack a volunteer ombudsman, who serves as an advocate, educator, investigator and problem-solver on their behalf.
The Snohomish County Long Term Care Ombudsman Program will offer a four-day training session on June 22, 24, 29 and 30, for new volunteer ombudsmen.
Certified volunteers are asked to spend an average of four hours a week on their ombudsman duties. Expenses such as mileage are reimbursable.
The Snohomish County Long Term Care Ombudsman Program is part of a statewide program.
