The Triangle J Area Agenry on Aging Ombudsman <br />Program is committed to providing $950.00 toward this training program with funds to be <br />administered by the Orange County Department on Aging. I commend you and Carol Woods for <br />your efforts to improve the quality of care and quality of life for long terra cart residents in Orange <br />County. As you arc aware, nursing assistants provide the most hands-on care, and typically receive <br />the least amount of training and support. Your training on basic caregiving techniques and lifeskills <br />will, no doubt, serve to decrease the incidence of elder abuse, neglect, and exploitation in Orange <br />County facilities. <br />I look forward to working with you and the nursing assistants in your program. <br />Sincerely, <br />Jill V. Al-hafez <br />Regian J Ombudsman <br />Cc: Jetty Passmorc, Orange Co. Dept. on Aging <br />
