The VOICES Forum, sponsored by the Connecticut Long Term Care Ombudsman Program in partnership with the Statewide Coalition of Presidents of Resident Councils, is an annual gathering where Resident Council Presidents from across Connecticut come together. This event provides a platform to discuss pressing issues, share experiences, and work collectively towards enhancing the quality of care and life in long-term care facilities.

Who Should Attend?

We invite:

  • Resident Council Presidents (RCP) or Vice Presidents (RCVP) from each facility.
  • Ambassador Delegates: If the RCP or RCVP cannot attend, another council member may represent them.
  • Assistance: If needed, one staff member may accompany the resident to assist with activities of daily living. Due to this being  a resident centered event, staff may not attend without a resident representative

  • Lunch: Provided with a choice between eggplant parmesan or chicken francaise. Please note that specific dietary accommodations such as gluten-free or puree options are not available. Attendees with dietary restrictions are encouraged to bring their own lunch.
