Be an ombudsperson

Family and Children’s Association is seeking volunteers for its long-standing ombudservice program, part of a statewide network of certified volunteers who visit nursing homes, adult homes and assisted living facilities in Nassau County.

Ombudspersons serve as advocates for residents and their families. If you are looking for a meaningful way to improve the quality of life for your frail, sick, and elderly neighbors who currently reside in long-term care facilities, this program is for you. |

Family and Children’s is planning a training class for April, to be held two days a week during a three-week period from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. at its offices in Mineola.

One of Long Island’s oldest and largest human service agencies, Family and Children’s Association provides support and individualized programs designed to help children, seniors and families lead more self-sufficient lives. The Association has served Long Island for more than a century, and reaches nearly 20,000 individuals every year.
