Inspired by her 15 year personal experience with her father still in long-term care, Lisa is a dedicated volunteer to the continuous quality improvement of resident experience in long-term care (LTC). Providing all residents with a voice, elevated through resident and/or family councils, Lisa strives to ensure the growth and sustainability of councils in every LTC home throughout BC in her current role as President of the Independent long-Term Care Councils Association of BC (ILTCCABC).
Family Councils contribute to the recognition of what is working well in long-term care. They also provide experiential input and feedback to care home initiatives and decision making as well as raise opportunities to improve resident quality of life.
There is untapped value in family caregivers and the mechanism of Family Councils. Lisa encourages every person closest to a resident in long-term care to exercise their opportunity to seek out the Family Council in their care home. If there is no council, contact your regional association of family councils to help support the process of forming one.
