For Residents and Family Members

The St. Lawrence Lodge Family Council respects the mission of St. Lawrence Lodge and offers support to residents, families, and staff at the Home. The Family Council advocates for all residents, families and caregivers, in particular, for those residents unable to advocate for themselves.

The Council promotes open communication. The Family Council will make suggestions and recommendations for change and improvements by being a forum for ideas and dialogue. The Council will endeavour to become more knowledgeable about the long term care sector and the operations of the Home and it will work to educate its members and other family members of residents.
