There are currently 15 family councils reported in the central area of Illinois served by the I CARE Long Term Care Ombudsman program.
Some of these family councils are newly formed and only have been in existence for a few months.
If your family council exists in a licensed skill care, intermediate care, shelter care, assisted living, supported living, or an intermediate care for the developmentally disabled facility in Illinois, please let us know by e-mailing email@tlcintlc.org

We are collecting information from local family councils across the state to better understand and serve family councils on the grass roots level, because that is where the most difference can be made.

We would like to hear what is happening in your family council and what differences your family council has made in the lives of the facility's residents.

Please share with us your experiences concerning:

• Ways in which your family council has made a difference in the retention of facility staff.
• Ways in which your family council has assisted the activity director in providing more activities for residents.
• Problems in care your family council has identified and how they were resolved by communicating and working with the facility.
• Problems in care your family council has identified and not resolved in the facility.
• Any other way your family council has assisted the nursing home in providing quality care!
