Resident Advocacy
Resident input into care and programs is sought through a variety of forums. One forum is the monthly Resident Council Meeting. There is an elected president of the Council and a liaison staff person that directs the meeting. At the meeting various topics are discussed including Activities, Food and upcoming events. If a resident is not able to express themselves, families are welcome to come with the resident to express the resident's opinion.
Family Advocacy
Family input into care and programs is also sought through a variety of forums, personal discussion, care conferences and Family Council.
