Who we are
A province-wide initiative shaped by the people who operate personal care homes.
APCHNL is being developed to connect and support licensed personal care home operators across Newfoundland and Labrador.
Our goal is practical: bring operators together, identify shared challenges, develop useful resources, and create a clear, constructive channel for advocacy with NL Health Services and government.
Learn about the initiative →Our advocacy priorities
Focused on the issues affecting care every day.
Timely resident reassessments
Support clearer, faster reassessment pathways when a resident’s condition changes or their needs exceed the care level currently being funded.
Fair process and operator advocacy
Support and advocate for operators facing disciplinary, compliance, or corrective action from NL Health Services—especially when clear guidance, resources, and practical supports have not been provided.
Staffing and recruitment
Strengthen recruitment, retention, workforce development, and practical training for personal care home teams.
Resident continuity
Promote resident-centred decisions that value established relationships, familiar surroundings, and continuity of care whenever safe and appropriate.
A stronger provincial voice
Improve consistent, constructive communication between operators, NL Health Services, and the Government of Newfoundland and Labrador.
