• Oregon’s Long-Term Care Ombudsman Program seeks volunteers to “advocate for residents who are elderly and disabled living in nursing homes, assisted living facilities and adult care homes to help ensure resident rights, dignity, safety and care.” According to the Office of the Long-Term Care Ombudsman, “the need for volunteer ombudsmen in Lane County is great. Currently, only 60 percent of the facilities have an ombudsman assigned to them, leaving many vulnerable residents without the advocacy and protection they need.” Volunteers work about four hours a week. Applications are due Dec. 15 and training will be held in Eugene January 2018. For more info call 800-522-2602 or go to www.oregon.gov/ltco.
