Ombudsman Volunteer Training
2016-05-03 17:30 - 19:30 | Pro Seniors, 7162 Reading Road, Suite 1150, Cincinnati, OH, 45237, United States
Ombudsman Volunteers are an essential part of our service to older adults and others who rely on a nursing home for their care and reaching out to their families, and the broader community. Certified Ombudsman Volunteers with Pro Seniors are typically assigned to one or more nursing homes that are conveniently located for the Volunteer. The Ombudsman Volunteer gets to know residents in the assigned home(s) through routine weekly/monthly visits, and makes sure that new residents are aware of our services and all residents know that they have rights.
Our Volunteers make a difference in the life of each resident they visit!!!
The dates for the next training for Long Term Care Volunteer Ombudsman are below. You must attend ALL the sessions.
