RESIDENTS’ COUNCIL
Residents’ Council is an independent, self-determining group made up of only residents of a Long Term Care Home. The council is intended and designed to form the collective voice of all residents who reside in the long term care home, whether or not they attend meetings. All residents have the right to participate in the Residents’ Council.
The Resident’s Council meets regularly to provide advice and recommendations to the licensee regarding what the residents would like to see done to improve care or the quality of life in the home, and to provide peer to peer support.
Residents’ Councils also meet to exercise several powers including, but not limited to sponsoring and planning activities, collaborating with community groups, reviewing the financial documents and operations of the Long Term Care Home, and attempting to resolve disputes.
