-Hi Vicki Welcome to the club. I am in Illinois as well and am
presently working in a hospital. I have been in this field for
almost 28 years. I think that it is great that you are with the
ombudsman program, I have considered joining it myself.

greatest passion. I absolutely enjoy it. Sometimes it gets trying,
but wouldn't trade it in for any other occupation in the world (I
tried other jobs in the past, but always went back to cring for the
elderly). I am also a volunteer for the state ombudsman program. I
intervene with any complaints or problems going on in LTC, much like
an investigator. But anyhow, I've seen it all, it seems like. I'm
looking forward to sharing my experiences with you, & hearing about
yours.
