• Dedicated volunteers in the Permian Basin are needed to serve as Nursing Home Advocates. Volunteers receive certification training, then visit nursing homes to advocate for quality care, and to protect residents’ rights. They work closely with patients, their families and the facility to address residents’ concerns. If you are Tough Enough to Care, can be objective and can work independently, the Texas Department on Aging wants to talk to you. No prior experience required. For more information or to volunteer, call 1-800-252-2412.
