Job Description

Your Opportunity:
Adult Day Programs (ADP) are a critical part of the Alberta Home and Community Care program. Under the Home Care Service Guidelines, they are identified as a respite service; however, they provide a range of services to both clients and their caregivers. ADPs are designed for adult clients who may have physical and/or memory challenges or are living with a chronic illness. They provide purposeful activities that meet the interrelated needs and interests of clients and provide support, respite and education to their informal care givers. As such, they play a key role in allowing clients to remain living in the community as long as possible, optimizing their level of physical, spiritual, social, and emotional function.
Description:
As a Health Care Aide (HCA), you will work as a collaborative member of the multi-disciplinary team providing personal assistance including supporting activities of daily living and support services to patients (clients, residents) who require short-term assistance or ongoing support, in accordance with the patient care plan and facility policies and procedures. In this position you will work closely with patients, families, and caregivers spanning the continuum of care in home, community or health care facilities assisting nurses with the provision of routine care to meet patients' hygiene, nutrition, mobility, recreation and safety needs, assisting with organized activities or programs and observing and reporting on a patient's mood, health, and wellbeing. Working under a regulated health professional you will be assisting in the maintenance of a safe environment for patients, staff and visitors, and maintaining effective communication with patients and health professionals.
