Tools for Current Ombudsman Volunteers
Preparing for a Visit:
Before you visit, please contact your assigned ombudsman staff to ask about any recent activity at the community you visit.
Next, please review the information available online about your assigned long-term care community.
You may want to make a few notes of what you can observe to determine if cited problems have been resolved or are continuing.
Please include your observations in your reports.
Now is a good time to review Residents’ Rights.
If Nick or your staff ombudsman has asked you to take photos to share with Pro Seniors to promote this volunteer opportunity, please remember to get a signed media release to share along with your photos.

Screening for Conflict of Interest
Ohio Administrative Code requires that we obtain a conflict of interest form from each ombudsman annually, and when a new conflict of interest occurs. A conflict of interest may be as simple as a friend being hired by the community that you visit. We disclose and work to remedy any such conflict of interest so that we can continue to provide unbiased assistance to the residents in our region.
Please complete this form upon request from our volunteer coordinator.
You may fax the completed form to 513-345-4164, or scan and email it, or mail it to
