===Call for a care planning conference===

If there are concerns about whether a resident’s care plan is meeting their needs (including medication, restraints, and ambulatory care) a person may request, with the resident’s authorization, to see their care plan. A family member can call for a care planning conference to review and revise the care plan. Facilities are required to review care plans at least once a year, or whenever there is a significant change in the resident’s needs or treatment.

When raising care concerns within a facility, it is helpful to refer to the [https://www2.gov.bc.ca/assets/gov/health-safety/home-community-care/accountability/pdf/adultcare_bill_of_rights.pdf ''Residents’ Bill of Rights''] for support in defining the type of care and quality of life that is expected for those receiving care (see Chapter 5).
