Role of the Richmond Intermediate Care Society
The board is the accountable body responsible for activities within the facility bringing individuals with a variety of background expertise together to fulfil this mandate. It provides the benefit of consensus decisions.
As the board is composed of community representatives, it is in touch with community needs to be addressed in facility programming. At the same time, the board or its Directors can do much to promote Long Term Care as a distinctive alternative in the health system.
