Volunteer Opportunities

aOmbudsmEn

Ombudsmen are dedicated advocates who work to protect the rights, well-being, and safety of residents in nursing homes and adult care facilities. They offer support in a variety of ways, including:

• Informing you about your rights and relevant regulations
• Assisting in communication with facility staff
• Attending care plan meetings with you
• Connecting you with appropriate staff members or external agencies
• Helping to resolve concerns or issues you may face

To become an Ombudsman, contact Lifespan Resources at 585-244-8400 or 866-454-5110 or visit their website for more information.  

Senior Courier

• Volunteers are needed to prepare the Senior Courier for mailing on the third Monday of odd months (January, March, May, July, September and November).
  • Volunteering is easy, you just need to show up! 
  • We begin folding at 9:00 am at the Office for the Aging located at 8 Perry Avenue, Warsaw. 
  • Any and all help is greatly appreciated, and it is a good place to meet with old friends or make new ones.

Transportation

• The Transportation Coordinator at the Office for the Aging has a list of independent drivers who have indicated a willingness to do out-of-county transportation to medical appointments for reimbursement of mileage. 
• Volunteer drivers are always needed and appreciated.
• To become a volunteer driver, contact the Transportation Coordinator at the Office for the Aging.
