Family & Friends Council

Learn about our Council

The Family & Friends Council (FFC) welcomes all family members and friends of Grove residents to become active FFC members. The FFC is led by an Executive who facilitates the engagement of family partners at The Grove. The meetings focus on sharing partner activities, improvements, and outcomes achieved—and collaborating with The Grove Leadership Team as partners in care.

The FFC is an organized, self-led, self-determining, democratic group of families and friends of the residents. The FFC determines its own structure, processes, goals and activities. The FFC acts within the parameters of the LTCH Act, independent of the staff of the Home.
