Be a Volunteer Ombudsman
Ombudsman volunteers provide a voice for long-term care consumers. Volunteers visit consumers in their own homes, nursing homes, or assisted living facilities.
Be Your Own Advocate for Medication Safety
Older adults are also more likely to take multiple medications prescribed by several health care providers. This can increase your risk of misuse and abuse.

If severe weather or another type of emergency has occurred, check in on older friends and family members to ensure that they are okay and can stay that way.
