Northern Association of Family Councils (NAFC) Zoom Meeting

Northern Association of Family Councils (NAFC) 

September 12, 2024 

7:00 pm – 8:00 pm via zoom

NAFC is 1 of 5 independent regional associations of family councils which make up the Independent Long-Term Care Councils Association of BC (ILTCCABC), a provincial association of family councils. Through monthly ILTCCABC meetings, our collective voice is elevated to the Ministry of Health to affect positive change to the long-term care system in BC. If you’re a member of a Family Council operating in a long-term care home in the Northern region of BC, we would love to have your family council join NAFC.

Independent “Family Councils” and combined “Resident and Family Councils” operating in long-term care homes in the Northern region of BC,  as well as individual volunteer community members (persons with lived experience in long-term care) are invited to meet and network via this regional forum. We share best practices (standards known to produce good outcomes if followed) and identify systemic issues (issues that are occurring in many long-term care homes in the northern region). We look to overcome barriers faced by our councils so they can operate more effectively. We offer educational components to help our members gain a better understanding of the BC long-term care system. We assist long-term care residents/ families and operators establish and maintain independent councils (self-led, self-determining, and democratic). We look for ways to improve quality of care and quality of life for residents living in long-term care.
