There are openings in Washington for volunteer Certified Ombuds to advocate for residents who are aging and disabled living in long-term care facilities. Volunteers help to ensure the rights, dignity and quality of care for residents through complaint investigation, resolution, and advocacy for improvement in resident care. This opportunity comes with flexible hours, training, support, new relationships, and the satisfaction of helping others. Volunteer ombuds are the backbone of the Washington State Long-Term Care Ombudsman Program! If you are interested in joining this extraordinary group of individuals working to protect Resident Rights, please fill out the form below, or call your local long-term care ombudsman program. A program representative will contact you about the next steps in your application process.
