About us
Independent Long-Term Care Councils Association of BC (ILTCCABC) is incorporated under the BC Societies Act. ILTCCABC is a “Provincial Association of Family Councils” representing the important collective voice of residents, their families, and residents’ representatives. ILTCCABC is viewed by the MoH as an important partner (stakeholder in the LTC sector) and a valuable resource for the development of “Family Councils” in Long-Term Care (LTC). ILTCCABC receives funding from the BC Ministry of Health. ILTCCABC has its member “Regional Associations of Family Councils” operating in every health authority across BC. Most are in their infancy, only being formed in 2021. These regional associations invite family councils operating in long-term care (LTC) homes to become members of its association to enable them to network with other family councils within the same region. Additionally, individuals in the community are encouraged to reach out to their respective regional association of family councils to inquire about becoming a volunteer member to advocate for family councils in long-term care homes. Each regional association determines its membership through its own terms of reference or bylaws. These regional associations volunteers assist LTC home operators and resident’s families and representatives to learn about, establish and maintain effective “Family Councils”. Experienced volunteers can share their knowledge of the LTC system. The regional associations of family councils offer resources to equip family councils with the tools they need to enable them to advocate effectively on behalf of all residents. In a collective effort, ILTCCABC and it member associations gather perspectives and recommendations relevant to quality of life and quality of care for all residents. This collective voice is elevated to the Health Authorities and MoH.

Yesterday, CALTC members were on Parliament Hill to advocate for the nearly 200,000 Canadians living in #LongTermCare. We had the opportunity to engage with several MPs and Senators in meaningful discussions about strengthening the long-term care sector. Our conversations focused on advancing key priorities, including increased investments to enhance operations, expanding human resources capacity and improving data collection. We also discussed the need to broaden immigration programs to welcome more qualified health professionals and to continue supporting infrastructure and development in long-term care. Thank you for your ongoing commitment to advancing care to meet the growing demand for #LongTermCare services across Canada.

Notice the support for long-term care...while so far behind, there is no better time than the incoming government to support change!
If you tuned in to the Leaders Debate last night, you would have heard each party leader discuss senior care in BC. BC Green Party Leader, Sonia Furstenau, shared frustration with the lack of long-term planning and management of public money and wants more investment in in-home care to support seniors age in place. Conservative Party of BC Leader, John Rustad, spoke about building 5,000 new long-term care beds, offering senior tax credits, and increasing the availability of home care services. BC New Democratic Party Leader, David Eby, focused on the expansion of home care and the Hospital at Home program which offers "hospital-like" care for seniors in their home. Miss it?
