Overview
Mission
To actively provide advocacy and pursue enhancement of the quality of life for residents of long-term care facilities in the san mateo county.
What it reported doing in 2024
Recruitment and training: the program provides training to volunteers to obtain and maintain state certification. The training program includes 36 hours of classroom training followed by an internship period of approximately 10 days. During the internship, the student ombudsmen are provided with hands-on guidance on how to monitor facilities; accept, investigate, and document their findings. In addition, we provide 2 hours of on-going training for all ombudsmen each month. During fy 2024-2025 we trained and certified 13 new ombudsmen who actively joined our team in the field, bringing the number up to 31 volunteer field ombudsmen active in the program. (continued on schedule o)during the year, 31 state-certified ombudsmen provided a total of 5,280 volunteer hours over the one-year period, valued at about $184,798. In addition, we provided 12 two-hour training sessions throughout the year to all ombudsmen who must attend 18 hours of ongoing training each year to maintain state certification.
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Mixed. Its operating money came from several sources; no one source provided a clear majority.
- Distribution model
- Direct operator. The filing allocates 100% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.
The verdict
SUPPORTED - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered and reported officer compensation is a large share of total spending, which may reflect staffing concentration.
