Belen Harvey House History

Belen's Harvey House operated from 1910 to 1939. It had a first-class dining room and a lunchroom with a large horseshoe-shaped marble counter. The Harvey Girls lived upstairs, as did the dorm mother and the office manager and his wife. In the 1940s, it briefly reopened during World War II, with many Harvey Girls coming out of retirement to serve troop trains. In the 1950s, it became the Santa Fe Reading Room for railroad employees, serving as a breakroom and dormitory through the 1970s. Boarded up and readied for demolition, a campaign by citizens of Belen saved the building from being torn down. In 1982, the Santa Fe Railroad donated the building to the City of Belen and hundreds of volunteers began restoring the building.

Volunteers do not provide any medical or hands-on care. They simply spend time with the patient, talking with them and keeping them company. Volunteer also often play the patient’s favorite games with them, like cards or chess. Volunteers may also talk with patients about current events, watch a television show or movie, if that’s something that the patient is interested in.

In home volunteers provide a vital service for the hospice patients. They’re able to give patients someone who will listen to their stories and talk with them. This type of volunteering is perfect for compassionate, empathetic people who want to help patients who are at the end of their life.

The New Mexico Long-Term Care Ombudsman Program (LTCOP) advocates for and alongside residents for the recognition, respect, and enforcement of the civil and human rights of residents of nursing homes and assisted living facilities, often providing a voice for individuals living in long-term care (LTC) facilities who might otherwise go unheard.

Ombudsman Volunteers spend time getting to know residents and how residents would like them to help. They are strong advocates and promote the additional rights individuals have in a facility -- resident rights, designed to protect residents and improve their quality of life. Armed with knowledge of these rights and the support of the entire Long-Term Care Ombudsman Program, volunteers are able to carry hope for others that their concerns will be resolved and their dignity can be maintained.
