Northern Virginia Long-Term Care Ombudsman Program | (703) 324-5861 | The Northern Virginia Long-Term Care Ombudsman Program aims to resolve differences between residential care residents and those who own and manage facilities. It uses a combination of counseling, investigation and negotiation to find solutions that satisfy all parties. The department also trains volunteers to be ombudsmen, who are tasked with regularly visiting care communities to speak with residents and inform them of their rights and conduct investigations into complaints. |
DVS Springfield Benefits Office | (703) 359-1210 | Managed by the Virginia Department of Veterans Services, the Springfield Benefits Office helps U.S. military vets and their families get the state and federal benefits they should. Located only minutes from Alexandria, it can also help eligible veterans apply for allowances that meet some long-term care costs, such as VA Aid Attendance. Additionally, it can refer those discharged from active service to the Alexandria VA Vet Center if they need support from counselors to deal with issues such as addiction and depression. |
RSVP Northern Virginia | (703) 246-3460 | Adults aged 55 or more who want to volunteer some of their time to help the community of Alexandria can contact RSVP Northern Virginia, an organization specializing in connecting volunteers with nonprofits that rely on their assistance. Volunteer work can vary. For example, the volunteer may require training to be an income tax advisor or a teaching assistant, but they may also be able to mentor others developing knowledge where the senior already has expertise. |
Medical Equipment Loan Closet | (703) 719-1380 | The medical equipment loan closet is a service provided by ENDependence Center of Northern Virginia, Inc., a nonprofit that helps disabled adults gain more independence. All loans are free of charge and typically include the most common medical devices, such as electric wheelchairs, commodes, canes, rollator walkers and knee scooters. As the organization depends on donated equipment, the requested device may not be immediately available. However, the center will try to provide it as soon as possible. |
