    Description

    Become an Advocate for Residents in Assisted Living

    Join the Springwell Volunteer Team as a volunteer Ombudsman and become an advocate for residents in local assisted living residences.

    Do you want to make a difference? Ombudsman volunteers act as advocates at assisted living communities working to ensure that the residents’ rights are being protected and helping residents with problems that they are unable to resolve alone. We are seeking individuals who are empathetic, diplomatic, and skilled communicators to join an amazing group of dedicated Ombudsmen!

    We are currently looking for volunteers to visit 2-3 residences in their local area including Arlington. We cover residences in over 22 communities and will work with you to find the right fit.

    Visit our website for more information: www.springwell.com/volunteer or volunteer@springwell.com
