National Association of Long-Term Care Volunteers

“Empowering Volunteers through Online Training for Long-Term Care Communities”

The National Association of Long-Term Care Volunteers (NALTCV) is a vital resource embraced by long-term care providers, aiming to increase community engagement through well-trained volunteers. These volunteers collaborate with professional staff to enhance the quality of life for residents.

NALTCV’s mission is to educate a volunteer workforce that significantly impacts long-term care, coordinating with existing efforts, spotlighting volunteer value, and researching efficacy. The Education/Training component ensures volunteers receive uniform training on topics such as ageism, diversity, and communication techniques.

NALTCV supports long-term care staff, providing training to recognize volunteers as valuable team members. Specialized training opportunities enable volunteers to expand their skills in interventions like nonpharmacological methods and supportive conversation for aphasia.

Beyond training, NALTCV coordinates with managers of volunteers, identifying resources and advocating for increasing community engagement. The organization conducts research to provide evidence-based results on the impact of volunteers in long-term care, benefiting both residents and dedicated volunteers. In essence, NALTCV stands as a beacon, fostering collaboration between volunteers and activity professionals to impact the long-term care community positively.
