Residential Care Survey – for Residents and Families – Coming in the Fall of 2016
On May 9, 2016, BC’s Senior Advocate, Isobel Mackenzie announced the launch of a province-wide Residential Care Survey of 27,000 residents living in 303 publicly-subsidized care homes in British Columbia.
The survey will take place in the fall of 2016 and will explore a range of questions on privacy, food, safety and security, comfort, respect and responsiveness of staff, personal relationships, medications and activities.
Residents will be interviewed in-person along with their most frequent visitor, who is usually a family member. The family member will be sent a mail-out survey. It will not be available online.
This survey will be conducted by volunteers contracted by the office of the Seniors Advocate. They will give approx. 30 hours of their time to survey residents of care homes across British Columbia.

We are looking forward to the opportunity to hear from our residents and family members through this survey.
Thank you in advance for your participation in the survey. Your thoughts and feedback are key to the quality of life and compassionate care experienced by residents at Menno Place.
