We PROMOTE Independent Family Councils within the Island Health Region
Council members include families and other representatives who act on behalf of residents in their long term care home. Councils meet to identify and promote practices that have proven to be valuable for residents in their long-term care home. Councils take ideas and recommendations to management to promote quality of life for the residents based on direct observation of commonly shared experiences.
We SUPPORT our Associate Regional Associations of Family Councils
There are five Regional Associations of Family Councils in the Province, one within each Health Authority region. Each Regional Association (RA) is comprised of representatives from independent family councils within their respective health authority. RA members meet on a regular basis for educational purposes, to share information and to identify common issues families and residents throughout the region are experiencing. Together they brainstorm possible solutions for improvement which are then further examined and evaluated by representation from all regional associations through the provincial association of family councils.
We ADVANCE the collective voice via the Provincial Association of Family Councils
(members are the five regional associations of family councils). Members network to consolidate the collective voice of recommendations which have the integrity and accuracy that come from experiences and perspectives that are first identified by independent family councils, validated at meetings in their respective regional association and then gathered and presented by the provincial association directly to the Ministry of Health.
