LTC Community Engagement Day 2025 Toolkit

Toolkit for LTC Community Engagement Day
Friday, September 12, 2025 
 
In 2024, more than 80 member homes hosted our first LTC Community Engagement Day, which was an outstanding success. If you have a few minutes, watch the 2024 highlights video – it will make you proud to work in LTC.

This year, we’ve built on that success and your feedback to create a streamlined 2025 LTC Engagement Day Toolkit. The toolkit comes in two parts:

• a high-level summary with checklists (available here) 
• detailed planning resources (tips, templates, talking points, etc). Just click on the pieces you need from the list below. You can also download all the resources in one Word document (available here).

If you need any support, please reach out - we're here to help. Our team is at info@oltca.com.
