Position Overview
The Home Care Program supports care at home by providing services to enable clients and their families to remain as independent as possible in meeting their identified needs. The appropriate service provider is assigned to meet care needs which would normally, but can no longer be met by family or self.
The skills of the Rehabilitation Assistant (RA) are used where the client situation is stable and predictable and the RA has been trained in the skill required to perform the tasks. Specifically, the RA is responsible to assist the client through the provision of personal care, (as per Case Coordinator care plan), rehabilitation care (under the direction/supervision of a Speech-Language Pathologist, Occupational Therapist, and/or Physiotherapist) and limited home support services.
The RA may be assigned more complex personal care and therapeutic interventions when he/she has been trained in the specific procedures.
Performs direct client care activities that are identified in the care plan, delegated/assigned and supervised by the therapist(s) responsible for the care of the client(s). Performs direct client care activities that are identified in the care plan by the Case Coordinator and scheduled by the Resource Coordinator.
Performs indirect client care activities and non-client care assignments that are requested by the therapists and scheduled by the Resource Coordinator.
The Priority Home Service is a centralized Home Care service team that provides short term intensive case management, rehabilitation, restorative care and other necessary supports for up to 90 days at a time when a client requires a temporary increase of service. Home Care services will be provided to clients who have been in hospital and who are eligible and/or waiting for LTC placement or are otherwise service will also provide short term support to clients deemed as community urgent or for those needing urgent placement directly from the emergency department.
The objectives of this team will be to enable clients to remain in their home for as long as possible and when required, transition to LTC from the community as opposed to waiting for this placement while in hospital. The model also helps family caregivers continue in their caregiving role for as long as safely possible. Once a person no longer requires Priority Home Services, they may be able to return to their pre-existing home care service that will facilitate their activities of daily living and support their health needs.
This team will facilitate seamless and timely transition of clients from hospital to home in partnership with the regular home care program and where indicated to LTC according to client need(s).
