Senior Services Associates, Inc. has positions available for our Volunteer Ombudsman Program. The word "Ombudsman" is a Swedish term meaning "Citizen's Advocate." After proper training, your top priority would be to advocate, empower, represent and intervene on behalf of individuals residing in short or long term care facilities. By being the eyes and ears of the Ombudsman Program, you would visit assisted livings and long term care nursing facilities in Kane, Kendall or McHenry Counties. You would listen to resident's voice the concerns they may have during their stay, and report those concerns to the Volunteer Ombudsman Coordinator who will guide you on how to handle the situation.
If you are interested in becoming a Volunteer Ombudsman, please contact Tina Dolan at (630)897-4035 or tdolan@seniorservicesassoc.org for more information.
