Northern Virginia Long-Term Care Ombudsman Program | (703) 324-5861 | The Long-Term Care Ombudsman is a state-sponsored advocate for the rights of seniors residing in assisted living facilities. Its main purpose is to help residents understand their rights and to resolve care-related issues with providers through investigation and negotiation. Ombudsmen visit care communities weekly to provide confidential one-on-one counseling sessions to residents. They can also provide data about long-term care providers so seniors can make more informed choices. |
DVS Fairfax Benefits Office | (703) 359-1210 | The Fairfax Benefits Office is administered by the Virginia Department of Veterans Services to help those discharged from active military service apply for state and federal benefits. All of the office's services are free of charge. It can also refer vets and their dependents in need of behavioral health support to the Alexandria VA Vet Center, where specialists can help with a range of issues, such as family counseling, depression and PTSD. |

Examples of common ways to help include becoming a teaching assistant within the Arlington Education and Employment Program and acting as an income tax assistant for individuals and families in Fairfax County. |
