Volunteers needed to help nursing home
residents
Special to The Monitor
NORTH CENTRAL TEXAS–The North Central Texas Council of Governments’ (NCTCOG)
Area Agency on Aging Ombudsman Program has immediate need for warm-hearted volunteers to
help residents of nursing and assisted living facilities in Terrell, Kaufman and Kemp.
Ombudsmen advocate for residents’ rights including, but not limited to, dependable
and consistent care and an environment that promotes the residents’ dignity,
self-determination, and communication.
Volunteer ombudsmen also receive and investigate complaints made by, or on behalf of,
residents or their families.
Since many residents do not receive regular visitors or have close relatives, it may be
difficult for them to enlist advocates.
Volunteer ombudsmen serve as advocates for all residents, connecting them to their broader
communities, affirming their rights, and assisting them in resolving concerns.
serve an internship, working two to three hours per week in their assigned facility. Hours
are flexible and are determined by each volunteer.

Come Adopt Us At
The Humane Society of Cedar Creek Lake |
 The domino effect is a chain reaction that occurs when a small
change causes a similar change nearby, which then will cause another similar change, and
so on. My name is Domino, and I got my name not only because I’m black and white like
a domino tile, but also because my outgoing, cheerful personality causes my doggie
roommates to smile. This also causes our human friends to smile, which even causes the
kitties in the cat room to smile.
I am an 8-month-old male Pointer/Terrier mix. I love children, other dogs, and even get
along great with kitties. I’ve had all my shots and am ready to be adopted. If
you’d like to experience the domino effect, I am sure to put a forever smile on your
face when you take me to my forever home.
I currently live with a foster family, so if you would like to meet me, call my friends at
the Humane Society of Cedar Creek Lake at (903) 432-3422 to make an appointment. You can
also email them at dogshsccl@yahoo.com.
