About Us
The Ontario Association of Residents’ Councils (OARC) was formed in 1981 by residents themselves, to act as a collective voice for Councils in all types of long term care Homes in Ontario. A strong, unified network of Residents’ Councils is vital to their continued existence and effectiveness.
OARC is concerned that residents in homes that are care facilities maintain their independence, their privacy and their dignity.
Our objectives are to:
- encourage the formation of Residents’ Councils in all Homes in Ontario
- encourage residents of care facilities to participate in the management of the facility, their home
- identify key issues facing residents
- speak with one voice to the provincial government and all other bodies having to do with residents
- promote legislation which improves the lifestyle and safeguards the welfare of residents
- share and consolidate ideas arising from various regions of the province for the good of all
- assist and advise individual Councils
- promote a standard of care which will improve the quality of life of all residents
