Quality Improvement Plan
Many Long Term Care Residents cannot speak for themselves and require others to advocate for them. Family Council gives families, friends, and persons of importance to Residents the opportunity to be involved in decisions that directly affect them and their loved ones.
Family Council Members are the families, friends, and persons of importance to Long Term Care Residents at Shalom Village. All family members, friends, and persons of importance of Long Term Care Residents are invited to participate in Family Council, including those whose loved ones have passed.
The Role of Family Council
Family Council Members volunteer their time to:
- Provide support and advocacy for Residents
- Empower, inspire, and encourage the sharing of knowledge and experiences
- Present education on relevant topics concerning Residents, Long Term Care Homes, Caregivers, and Medical Advances
- Inform Shalom Village Leadership about issues and challenges, and provide input in decisions that affect Residents, Families/ Friends/Persons of Importance to Residents
- Help to enhance the quality of life of Residents
- Offer ideas and suggestions in the interests of Residents, Families/Friends/Persons of Importance to Residents, and Staff
- Create a link between Residents, Families/Friends/Persons of Importance to Residents, and Staff
Key Family Council Accomplishments So Far
- Procured more Accessible Parking Spots in both SVO & SVToo parking lots
- Family Council Member made 5 Frontline Hero Bears that have been placed at each LTC Nursing Station and the Recreation Department to thank the Staff for their dedication and hard work
- Sensory Blankets knitted/crocheted and given to Residents who would like one, specifically those with Dementia – All personalized to their likes and colour preferences
- Montessori Activities purchased for Residents, especially those with Dementia, in both buildings and on both floors
