Scope of Services
Introduction
Interacting as a national organization with skilled nursing homes in the U.S. will be quite a chore. NALTCV will offer the person managing volunteers in long-term communities access to online training, recruiting materials, templates for various forms such as a volunteer application, volunteer job descriptions, posting ongoing volunteer opportunities, writing blogs, sending out a monthly newsletter, providing a platform that will allow the managers of volunteers and the volunteers themselves to interact, share ideas and stories.
Here are some additional services and resources NALTCV can offer, as well as some limitations to consider:
What NALTCV Can Provide:
1. Training Resources: Besides online training, NALTCV can offer webinars, workshops, and training modules specifically designed for volunteer managers in nursing homes to manage a team of volunteers effectively.
2. Establish a support network to share best practices, troubleshoot common challenges, and provide guidance.
3. Create a comprehensive library of resources, including downloadable materials, case studies, and best practice guides for volunteer management in long-term care community settings.
4. Develop an online community or forum where managers of volunteers and volunteers themselves can discuss issues, ask questions, and share solutions, allowing for peer-to-peer support.
5. Implement a feedback system for volunteers and residents to provide insights on the program’s effectiveness and areas that need improvement.
6. Spotlight outstanding volunteer managers and their teams with awards or certificates to motivate and reward their efforts.
7. Advocate for policies and regulations that promote volunteer programs in long-term care communities. Offer assistance in navigating relevant regulations and requirements.
What NALTCV Will Not Be Able to Do:
1. Direct Management: NALTCV will not be able to directly manage volunteers or operations at individual long-term care communities. The responsibility for the day-to-day management of volunteers typically lies with the long-term community staff.
2. Staffing: NALTCV will not be able to provide actual volunteers to fill staffing gaps. The role of NALTCV is to support managers of volunteers in their efforts to recruit, train, and manage volunteers.
3. NALTCV will not be in a position to provide financial assistance to long-term communities for their volunteer programs.
4. NALTCV may some guidance on legal and regulatory compliance, however, NALTCV cannot guarantee that every long-term community will follow these recommendations, as compliance ultimately is the responsibility of the long-term community.
5. NALTCV resources may not always cater to the specific needs of every long-term care community. Managers of volunteers should adapt NALTCV materials to suit their unique circumstances.
6. NALTCV acknowledges that the success of volunteer programs in long-term care communities depends on various factors and cannot guarantee the success of every program The role of the NALTCV is to support and empower the managers of volunteers in their efforts.
The NALTCV focus is on providing valuable resources, guidance, and a sense of community for managers of volunteer managers in long-term care communities, recognizing that each community may have different challenges and needs.
