Support Long-Term Care Family Councils across BC

We appreciate your generous support of the Independent Long Term Care Councils Association of BC ("ILTCCABC")!

ILTCCABC is a registered Non-Profit Society (not a registered charity). ILTCCABC is a “Provincial Association of Family Councils” representing the important collective voice of residents, their families, and residents’ representatives. ILTCCABC is comprised of its 5 member regional associations of family councils, one in each health authority. The regional associations’ volunteers assist residents’ families and representatives to learn about, establish and maintain effective “Family Councils”. A family council operating in a long-term care (LTC) home is comprised of its members who can be residents’ families and representatives. The council meets regularly to promote the collective interests of residents residing in the LTC home. The regional associations of family councils offer resources to equip family councils with the tools they need to enable them to advocate effectively on behalf of all residents. In a collective effort,  ILTCCABC and its member associations gather perspectives and recommendations relevant to quality of life and quality of care for all residents. This collective voice is elevated to the Health Authorities and MoH.

Nov 3, 2022, in a public media release, the BC Ministry of Health (MoH) announced new residential care regulations regarding the operation of resident councils and family councils in long-term care (LTC) homes to ensure a greater voice for residents and their families in decisions that affect them and their loved ones.

Our fundraising goal of $5,000 is intended to help ILTCCABC with its annual operating expenses.
