We are a non-profit association providing a network to strengthen the voice of residents living in long-term care through their respective Residents’ Councils.
We empower Ontario long-term care residents to understand their rights, share their lived experience, and inspire a better tomorrow. We do this by working together with our partners to educate stakeholders, build a collective voice, and create positive culture change.
Compassion – We demonstrate compassion by developing caring relationships that are built on acceptance, trust, and honesty.
Dignity - We embrace the inherent dignity of all people, and respect their right to be valued and accepted without judgement.
Inclusion – We are committed to ensuring that all residents are engaged and heard.
Collaboration - We know that we can accomplish more when we work together to achieve shared goals.
Every long-term care resident in Ontario shapes the place they call home.
