Family members of residents in LTC are important partners in care.
Family members often wish their LTC team could better understand what they, or their family member, wanted or needed. LTC team members often wonder how they can better support these communication needs of resident’s family members.
Introducing the Huddle Tool; five simple questions for family members to share any experience, situation, or need with their LTC team over the phone when they can’t meet in person. Below are two eLearning courses, one designed for family members and one for LTC team members, that will introduce them to the huddle tool and how to use it to improve communication.
At the end of each eLearning course, participants will be able to download a copy of the Huddle Tool to use.

The rapid rise and severity of COVID-19 cases in long-term care (LTC) has led to the urgent redeployment of health professionals to LTC environments. The Ontario COVID-19 Education Task Force (powered by Michener Institute of Education at UHN), in partnership with the Ontario Centres for Learning, Research and Innovation in Long-Term Care (CLRI) and the Baycrest Centre for Education, developed an LTC section on covidcarelearning.ca, an online learning management system to support upskilling for health-care workers being redeployed for COVID-19 care.
Please share this resource with incoming team members who are new to the LTC environment. These materials facilitate redeployment to a team-based model of care quickly and safely in LTC homes, and support team members to bridge their knowledge from current practice to the requirements to care for COVID-19 and other residents.
