Resident Council:

A resident council is a forum for residents to voice their opinions, concerns, and suggestions regarding their living conditions and the operation of the assisted living facility. The council serves as a platform for residents to discuss issues of common interest, collaborate with facility management, and advocate for their rights and well-being. Resident councils may have regular meetings, elect representatives, and work in partnership with the facility administration to address resident concerns, improve services, and enhance the overall quality of life within the facility.

Assisted living facilities should support the formation and functioning of resident councils, providing them with the necessary resources, guidance, and a platform to express their collective voice. Resident councils promote resident empowerment, involvement in decision-making processes, and a sense of community within the facility.
