Strengthening Advocacy for Long-Term Care Residents Act

This bill amends the Older Americans Act to improve training for unpaid volunteers in state long-term care ombudsman programs. It requires the federal ombudsman office to tailor training standards to each volunteer's specific role, aiming to reduce unnecessary training requirements for prospective volunteers. The bill also mandates a study by the National Academies on state ombudsman program effectiveness and current staff-to-bed ratios, with a report due within one year. These changes directly affect unpaid volunteers and state ombudsman programs nationwide.
