Clackamas County: Volunteer Advocates Needed

Description

Every day, residents in nursing homes and assisted living facilities encounter challenges they can’t face alone. Call lights go unanswered, meals arrive cold, or medications are given incorrectly. Some residents feel forgotten. Some have no one to speak up when things go wrong. That’s where you come in.

As a volunteer with the Long-Term Care Ombudsman Program, you’ll visit residents, listen to their concerns, resolve complaints, and advocate for their rights. You don’t need a special degree—just a compassionate heart, a listening ear, and a desire to make a difference.

A few hours of your time each week can mean the world to someone who feels invisible. You can help ensure they receive the right care, have the lifestyle they want, and are treated with dignity.
