The focus of the book is specifically on all the licensed residential care facilities, extended care facilities and private hospitals in British Columbia.  It does not cover legal issues related to assisted living or home support, although we recognize the importance of those areas.

==Acknowledgements: Development and Review of the E-Manual==
In developing this e-manual we have drawn on the knowledge and experience of key stakeholders in health care and law, government agencies, community groups, family councils and in some cases residents themselves.  These people have allowed us to identify key issues, content, and resources.
This e-manual is based on an approach first used by the Advocacy Centre for the Elderly (ACE) in Toronto, Ontario where their manual became a practical information tool useful to many stakeholders. We would like to thank ACE for the initial idea of creating the e-book as well as their support. We have drawn on their quarter century experience in legally advocating on behalf of older adults in long term care settings.
The BC Centre for Elder Advocacy and Support thanks all those individuals and organizations that generously gave their scarce time to participate in the review of the manual. Their comments and responses helped shape the final content.  The special efforts given by lawyers Heather Campbell, Kevin Smith (BCCEAS), and Krista James (Canadian Centre for Elder Law) have been greatly appreciated.
We also benefited from the insights and support of advocacy staff at the Alzheimer Society of British Columbia, Al Jina (Park Place Seniors Living), Kim Slater and the Vancouver Island Association of Family Councils, and Sherry Baker, BC Association of Community Response Networks.
