Welcome to the 2nd episode of our 3-episode mini-series, where we’ll bring you the first-hand stories and experiences of a special type of advocate an Ombudsman. An Ombudsman advocates for older adults living in assisted living and skilled nursing facilities. You will hear from 3 different Ombudsmen in this series, all of whom were on the front lines during the COVID outbreak. Our goal in this series is to hear their stories, spread awareness about the work of an Ombudsman, and learn how we can all help protect residents’ rights in the future. In this second episode in the series, we will hear from Darcy White, a Community Ombudsman at Catholic Charities, Diocese of Joliet. Let’s listen in as Darcy tells us about what she saw and heard from residents in long-term care during the COVID-19 lockdown. #theageguidepodcast #COVID-19 #Pandemic #LongTermCare #Advocacy #ILOlderAdults #OlderAdultAdvocacy #OmbudsmanAdvocacy
