Seniors and their families can reach out to a staff member to report any facility-related problems, including financial abuse, denial of services, verbal or physical mistreatment and low-quality care. Assistance to gain admission into a long-term care setting may also be provided. Since this program is federally mandated, all services are strictly confidential and free of charge. |

Trained staff can help coordinate services for those awaiting placement in assisted living facilities. Residents may also be referred to resources, such as legal advice on civil cases, support groups for families and financial assistance as well as a variety of recreational programs.

In most cases, volunteers must be aged 55 or over and reside in northern Santa Clara County. |
