Each
S&R Home has an active Family Council or Family Network in place.
The Family Council,
composed of families and friends of residents, serves
as a support group, as well as a liaison
between families, team members
and management.
The
Terms of Reference and the structure of each Family Council will vary
among homes, since we believe that families have a right to organize
their council.
Goals may include:
-
Providing
input on long term care issues at the Home
-
Acting on shared concerns
-
Supporting family members in their new experiences in long term care
-
Educating families on long term care issues
