A representative body for older people living in, or receiving services from, Sheffcare residential homes.  The forum consists of approximately 30 older people, two from each home, who are elected by the residents.  The aim of the forum is that the residents have a voice in the running of the residential homes and the services provided.  The forum liaises with management and relays the needs and concerns of residents.  Also provides feedback information to residents regarding management and service delivery and development objectives.
