What is a Family Council?
The Ministry of Health and Long Term Care requires each Long
Term Care Home to provide a forum for families and friends
of residents. A Staff Advisor from the facility is usually
appointed to support and facilitate the Council.
In general, the role of Family Council is to
provide support to families and to advocate for residents.
The Family Council is invaluable in its ability to welcome
families of new residents to Parkwood. In the past, it has
sponsored activities and educational events for interested
family members, provided advocacy on behalf of residents to
staff, and served in an advisory capacity to staff.
