Advocate:
The Best Senior Advocate
Author: Glenn J. Rigdon, September, 2008
Its common sense to realize that the best advocate for a senior citizen
is; the senior himself / herself and secondarily a family member
with the best interests of the individual (and not the advocate) in mind. Only when both of those
possibilities are exhausted should anyone be looking for a third-party advocate.
The Nevada Division for Aging Services' Advocates
for Elders, formerly called the Community Ombudsmen, provide
services on a statewide basis.
Clark County has a Senior
Advocate Program in place. The Program is a "partner of the
Nevada Care Connection funded through Nevada Division for Aging Services,"
and it relies on volunteers.
The City of Las Vegas supports a Senior
Citizen Law Project. The program provides "legal
advocacy/assistance to person 60 years and older in civil areas of (the)
law." It helps low-income 60+ seniors with wills, advance directives,
power of attorney, LTC planning issues, consumer issues and a wide range of
civil legal support.
Elder Protective Services
investigates crimes against senior citizens.
