Opportunities

Help to Spread the Word - We're Here for Ohio Seniors!

It may seem like a simple task, it’s vitally important.   You and your friends can truly help us expand our social media reach –  and community awareness – by following, commenting, liking and sharing our posts.  We are on Facebook, Twitter and LinkedIn. We’re also on Instagram, but are only getting started there.

Ohio seniors rely on our legal helpline to navigate complex health insurance issues and connect with local resources.  Our Ohio Senior Medicare Patrol volunteer peer educators help seniors avoid fraud and scams. Our ombudsman staff and volunteers advocate for residents in assisted living and nursing homes.   When you raise awareness, you help us reach more people.

We are in the process of moving our annual fundraiser – Seniors Who Rock – from an in-person event to a virtual event to honor three vibrant Ohio seniors.  By expanding our social media visibility/reach, you and your friends will also help us bring more value to our event sponsors/supporters!   You can read more about this event at https://www.proseniors.org/seniors-who-rock/

Advocate for Residents of Nursing Homes & Assisted Living

Up to 60% of long-term care residents do not receive visitors on a regular basis. This population often needs a voice– someone who will advocate for their quality of care and quality of life.

Ombudsmen advocate for those living in assisted living, nursing homes and other long-term care settings, working to resolve problems related to the health, safety, welfare, and rights of residents. Train as an ombudsman volunteer so you too can help this vulnerable population.   Following training, visit residents a nearby home  once per month, and make a difference in their lives.

Visit our website to sign up, or contact Linda at 513-458-5520 for more information.

Volunteers complete 36 hours of training, a combination of classroom, homework and field shadowing, and then pass a state certification exam. Eighteen hours of continuing education is required each year to maintain this certification. We ask for a minimum commitment of 1 year.
