Residential Care Survey – for Residents and Families – Coming in the Fall of 2016
On May 9, 2016, BC’s Senior Advocate, Isobel Mackenzie announced the launch of a province-wide Residential Care Survey of 27,000 residents living in 303 publicly-subsidized care homes in British Columbia.
The survey will take place in the fall of 2016 and will explore a range of questions on privacy, food, safety and security, comfort, respect and responsiveness of staff, personal relationships, medications and activities.
Residents will be interviewed in-person along with their most frequent visitor, who is usually a family member. The family member will be sent a mail-out survey. It will not be available online.
This survey will be conducted by volunteers contracted by the office of the Seniors Advocate. They will give approx. 30 hours of their time to survey residents of care homes across British Columbia. Are you interested in joining the volunteer team? Click here for more information: SurveyBCSeniors.org
We are looking forward to the opportunity to hear from our residents and family members through this survey.

ONYX TRIO
The Onyx Trio was formed in 2014 out of a deep desire to explore and share the repertoire of the last one hundred years. Ever since Claude Debussy composed his remarkable Sonata for Flute, Viola, and Harp in 1915, many great composers have tried their hand at this unique and colourful combination of instruments. The Onyx Trio is dedicated to the performance of these works as well as working alongside composers of the 21stcentury in the commissioning and creation of new music for flute, viola, and harp.
The Onyx Trio is comprised of Joy Yeh, harp; Mark Takeshi McGregor, flute; and Marcus Takizawa, viola. All three musicians are fixtures of the BC music scene and can be frequently heard performing with the Vancouver Symphony Orchestra, Vancouver Opera Orchestra, Turning Point Ensemble, Aventa Ensemble, and Vancouver New Music Ensemble.
