Possible blast of fall Thursday

Body
Oklahoma Mesonet So we may go through hell (but definitely no high water) to get there, but we are in for a blast of fall come Thursday, which coincidentally is the lesser beginning of fall... astronomical fall (as opposed to the much more superior “Climatological Fall” on Sept. 1... and let me say “meteorological fall” is a falsehood perpetrated by the weather community since climatologists are the ones that track seasonal statistics).

Ombudsman Volunteers are committed to improving and enriching the lives of residents in Nursing Homes, Residential Care and Assisted Living Facilities. An Ombudsman is an advocate for residents. An Ombudsman provides information about how to find a facility and what to do to get quality care. They are trained to resolve problems The goal of the Ombudsman Program is to have Volunteers at each facility in the State to work with the facility and surrounding community. Training in skills such as problem solving and communication, information about regulations, the processes of aging and long-term care facilities is provided by the Ombudsman Program for Volunteers.
