Family Council

The Cove Family Council includes family, friends, and legal representatives of the residents in the Cove.  The Family Council works in partnership with the Resident Council to discuss common interests, to provide support, education and a forum to voice concerns or issues. This is also a group to share experiences, learn and exchange information, problem solve and present concerns to the Resident Advocate who acts as a liaison between the Council and the Cove Management Team. The Family Council meets regularly and is always looking for new members.
