The Resident Advocate Committee functions as an autonomous group within the facility and represents every resident. It is particularly important role, especially for residents who have no family or friends nearby and those who might be reluctant to bring concerns directly to the staff. Volunteers spend at least 2-3 hours per month at the facility talking with the residents to better understand the conditions at the facility from the residents' point of view. The Resident Advocate Committee convenes on a regular basis to share information gained during the visits. Issues are then communicated with facility staff to correct problems or implement suggestions for improvement. Concerns may be sent to the Long Term Care Ombudsman or state regulatory agency if the concerns are not resolved.

We are very thank full for these ladies and all they do for our family here at the Manor.
