About Family Councils
                                      What is a Family Council?                 

 

 

 

 

 

A Family Council is an organized, self-led, self-determining, democratic group composed of family and friends of the residents of long term care homes.

"Families working together to provide support, share experiences, and seek solutions to common problems. This is a Family Council."

 

 

All Family Councils provide mutual support, empowerment and advocacy to the family and friends of the residents of Long-Term Care Homes.  Although all Family Councils have this goal in common, each Council will be unique in meeting the needs of its members, the residents and the Home.
