Dates, times and locations are posted on the bulletin boards on each Resident Home Area and in the monthly Recreation Calendar. Those attending the meetings are brought up to date on events in the Home and are informed of any changes that may be up coming. Managers from each department attend on invitation and provide updates as well. Residents are given the opportunity to formally express their wishes and concerns. Any suggestions or complaints are printed in the minutes of the meeting and directed to the appropriate departments for action and follow-up. A response to all suggestions or complaints will be given to the Residents within ten (10) business days, as per Legislation.
