Volunteering Can Help Residents Residents of long term care facilities sometimes have little or no contact with the outside world. Many feel they lack control over their lives.
 A friendly volunteer who visits regularly can be a bright spot in an elderly resident’s day. Many residents are alone and would be very happy to have your visits. This may also help ensure they get good care if someone from the community is looking in on them regularly. Many residents are afraid of retribution if they complain. Through visiting, and spending time with residents, visitors can discern problems that resident’s will not report because they don’t want to “rock the boat.” For more information, please call: Randa Ramsey Pennyrile Area Long Term Care Ombudsman 1-800-928-7233 |
