your long-term care home family council (or start one up if one does not exist).
At the local long-term care home level, families and friends of residents know the value of being part of the care team. They establish relationships and contribute to conversations for continuous quality improvement. Their family council relationships support education and positive change. These family councils become involved in decision-making that positively affects their care home community.
These councils attend regional forums where they further serve to elevate the resident voice, learn about the long-term care system and advocate for improvement.
