The Connecticut Statewide Family Council (CTSFC), in collaboration with the State Long Term Care Ombudsman, serves as a vital communication link between family councils within long-term care facilities (LTCFs) across Connecticut. Established under Public Acts 21-71 and 21-194, the CTSFC is dedicated to enhancing the quality of life for residents by advocating for resident-centered care and sharing best practices. The Council focuses on improving residents' experiences by fostering strong family-facility relationships, supporting staff, and ensuring the enforcement of residents' rights. Open to all who have a loved one in a Connecticut LTCF, the CTSFC works to ensure that every resident enjoys the same care and comfort they would experience at home.

| FAMILY GUIDE TO EFFECTIVE FAMILY COUNCILS - This guide is designed to help families develop and maintain a strong, effective, family run family council. It provides step-by-step guidance, as well as sample forms that can be used. But, councils - like people - are unique, and so the suggestions presented in this book should be adapted to fit the needs of your council.
To learn more about family councils, also please take a look at the National Consumer Voice Family council center. This site contains factsheets and other materials related to family council creation, maintenance, rights under federal law and advocacy. It also has information about family council grants, networking opportunities, other ways to get involved in long-term care advocacy and additional resources. |
