Ombudsmen are typically volunteers who regularly visit communities to discuss care with residents, ensure they're aware of their rights and investigate any complaints they may have with their quality of care. These can conclude concerns over transfers, the quality of the food, the frequency of housekeeping services and general concerns about welfare. |

The department's officers may also be able to help vets who qualify for service-specific support, such as the VA AId and Attendance benefit. Vets with greater levels of need, such as those dealing with memory loss, may also be able to get help entering a VA purpose-built home. |

Its purpose is to connect seniors who want to offer their spare time to nonprofit organizations that rely on the help of volunteers to fulfill their purposes. Voluntary work can cover a wide spectrum of help, such as instructing others on skills the senior picked up during their working years and assisting with services that need delivery drivers, such as Meals on Wheels. |
