The following committees take the to visit residents of long term care facilities:

• Community Advisory Committees (CAC job description) are made up of volunteers appointed by the county commissioners.

• Adult Care Home Community Advisory Committees visit each Adult Care Home every three months and Family Care Homes annually. They help maintain the Adult Care Home Resident’s Bill of Rights.
