NURSING HOME COMMUNITY ADVISORY COMMITTEE <br />ADULT CARE HOME COMMUNITY ADVISORY COMMITTEE <br />APPOINTMENTS AND ACTMTIES <br /> <br />VOLUNTEER JOB DESCRIPTION <br /> <br />The Nursing Home Community Advisory Committee (NHCAC) and the Adult Care Home Community <br />Advisory Committee (ACHCAC) serve the residents of long term care facilities within the county. <br />The committees have legislative authority to monitor the Residents' Bill of Rights, promote community <br />involvement in the homes, provide public education on long temx care issues, and assist residents in <br />grievance resolution. (G.S. 131 D-31, G.S. 131 E-128) <br /> <br />NHCAC members are required to visit all nursing homes once a quarter as a committee and are to <br />visit individually as often as possible. ACHCAC members are to visit Homes for the Aged quarterly, <br />Family Care Home annually, and Homes for Developmentally Disabled Adults annually as a <br />committee with individual visits being carried out as often as possible. Business meetings are held on <br />a quarterly basis. Orientation and training will be provided by the North Carolina Division of Aging <br />through the Regional Ombudsman Program. Committee activities will involve at least eight hours a <br />month. <br /> <br />As part of their initial training, committee members are required to make orientation visit to each type <br />of facility they serve and to attend an orientation session conducted by the Regional Ombudsman. <br /> <br />Members of these committees must reside within the county that the committee serves. They should <br />be willing to attend training sessions and be able to effectively communicate with the residents and <br />facility staff. All committee members are appointed by the County Commissioners. One-third are to <br />be nominated by facility administrators. All appointees shall serve an initial one year term and then <br />may be reappointed to a subsequent term of two or three years for ACHCAC and three years for <br />NHCAC's. <br /> <br />The legislation requires that "no person or immediate family member of a person with a financial <br />interest in a home served by the committee, or employee or governing board member of a home served <br />by the committee, or immediate family member of a resident in a home served by the committee may <br />be a member of that committee". Immediate family is defined as mother, father, sister, brother, child, <br />grandmother and grandfather as well as in laws. <br /> <br />Volunteers serving on these committees are the link between the facilities and the community. Their <br />work will ultimately result in improving the quality of life for home residents. They have the <br />opportunity to meet a wide variety of people as they carry out committee responsibilities. Additional <br />information on committee activities can be obtained from the committee chairperson or from the <br />Regional Long Term Care Ombudsman at the Centralina Area Agency on Aging, 704-372-2416 or 1- <br />800-508-5777. <br /> <br />A73.B <br /> <br /> <br />
