Family Advisory Committee
 

The Family Advisory Committee at Inglewood is a volunteer group of family members and friends of residents and community members just like you.  Most of the group has a family member or friend presently living at Inglewood Care Centre. 

The focus of the Committee is to act as an advocate for all residents - especially those residents who are unable to or have no one to speak on their behalf.  The Committee meets monthly (with the summer off), along with two members of the Management Team.

MISSION - The Family Advisory Committee will:

  • Promote the purpose of Inglewood to provide a supportive and caring environment in order to preserve the dignity and enhance the quality of life for people who require long term care from a team of qualified care givers.
  • Support the interests of residents and staff in the operations of Inglewood
  • Support the interests of the next of kin and other caregivers and friends of residents to assist in meeting their needs and concerns
  • Support the development of excellent relationships between Inglewood and the community, government authorities and agencies

Benefits of Membership

"Since joining the Committee, I feel I have a much better understanding of 'behind the scenes' in Inglewood - from staff issues and government funding to future improvement plans and Inglewood's new Eden approach to care."

Education Nights

The Committee organizes bi-annual Education Nights for families on a range of topics - from palliative care to dementia to communication strategies in long term care.  Experts from the field are invited as guest speakers.  These Education sessions are open forum and questions and discussions are encouraged.  The goal of the sessions is to provide helpful strategies to family members along their journey and also to foster connections amongst family members.
