Family Council
Purpose of the Council:
Definition of Family Council
Family council is a group of family members, friends and representatives of residents living in a residential care facility who work together to maintain and enhance the quality of life of all residents. Family Councils provide a voice towards facility decision making.

- Provide networking, support and encouragement for family members, friends and representatives;
- Engage in education and information opportunities;
- Discussion of group concerns (rather than individual concerns) and generating solutions to problems that arise; and
