For nursing homes & assisted living

Volunteer background checks for long-term care — $5.

Nursing homes and assisted living communities rely on volunteers who serve frail, dependent residents. VolunteerBadge screens them — FCRA-compliant, identity-verified — for $5.

Long-term care residents are among the most dependent people a volunteer will serve — many with dementia, limited mobility, or no nearby family. Volunteers visit, run activities, feed, and accompany residents.

Federal and state long-term care regulations hold facilities to strict standards for who has resident access, and volunteer screening is part of a defensible program. VolunteerBadge makes it affordable: a full FCRA-compliant check for $5, with identity verification built in.

No monthly fees, no contracts — screen every volunteer in your community.

Why facilities screen volunteers

Nursing facilities operate under federal (CMS) and state long-term care regulations, and surveyors expect a documented process for anyone with resident access — including volunteers. Many states also require criminal background checks for those serving residents. VolunteerBadge supplies the search, identity verification, and audit trail.

This is general information, not legal advice. Confirm your specific obligations with counsel or your licensing/state agency.

Why screening matters here

Residents are dependent and often isolated

Many residents can’t leave, can’t advocate, and have no family nearby. Knowing exactly who walks in matters.

Abuse and exploitation are real risks

Identity verification stops someone from gaining resident access under a borrowed identity.

Documentation for surveyors

Every check stores a complete, FCRA-compliant audit trail you can show on inspection.

The safeguard that matters most for seniors

We verify the human, not just the name.

A name, DOB, and SSN can be borrowed — and a clean record run on the wrong person tells you nothing. VolunteerBadge ties a live biometric selfie to a government photo ID, then triangulates it against the SSN trace and address history. So the volunteer you clear is the person who actually walks into an older adult’s home. Included in every $5 check.
