The following list includes those that advocate for assisted living residents unhappy with their care providers, support veterans struggling with non-medical health issues and provide opportunities for volunteers to help others in their communities.
| Resource | Contact | Service |
|---|---|---|
| Northern Virginia Long-Term Care Ombudsman Program | (703) 324-5861 | The Long-Term Care Ombudsman is a state-sponsored advocate for the rights of seniors residing in assisted living facilities. Its main purpose is to help residents understand their rights and to resolve care-related issues with providers through investigation and negotiation. Ombudsmen visit care communities weekly to provide confidential one-on-one counseling sessions to residents. They can also provide data about long-term care providers so seniors can make more informed choices. |
| DVS Fairfax Benefits Office | (703) 359-1210 | The Fairfax Benefits Office is administered by the Virginia Department of Veterans Services to help those discharged from active military service apply for state and federal benefits. All of the office's services are free of charge. It can also refer vets and their dependents in need of behavioral health support to the Alexandria VA Vet Center, where specialists can help with a range of issues, such as family counseling, depression and PTSD. |
| RSVP Northern Virginia | (703) 246-3460 | The Retired and Senior Volunteer Program helps adults aged 55 and older find nonprofit organizations in Fairfax and the surrounding areas that rely on volunteers to fulfill their purposes. There are many ways volunteers can assist, sometimes utilizing existing life and work skills and other times receiving training to deliver something new. Examples of common ways to help include becoming a teaching assistant within the Arlington Education and Employment Program and acting as an income tax assistant for individuals and families in Fairfax County. |
| Medical Equipment Loan Closet | (703) 719-1380 | ENDependence Center of Northern Virginia, Inc., is a nonprofit organization dedicated to helping disabled adults achieve as much independence as possible. Its medical loan closet lends Fairfax seniors with disabilities a wide range of devices that can mitigate the impact of the conditions that restrict their movement. As the center relies on donations, all loans are subject to availability. Equipment commonly in stock includes electric and manual wheelchairs, crutches, canes, knee scooters and commodes.
