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 Recreation Therapist II, you will take a leadership role in ensuring that the level of therapeutic recreation practice in your clinical area is evidence based, patient-and family-centred and in accordance with policies, procedures and standards of practice. You will provide clinical leadership to ensure safe and efficient care as well as coordinate the assessment, treatment, education and care of the patient (client, resident). You will participate in program development to ensure effective delivery of services, including the development of protocols, forms, education, and quality improvement initiatives. You will complete assessment, treatment, education and management of clients treatment progress and provide clinical support and consultation. You will collaborate and communicate with the health care team and participate in patient rounds, family conferences and meetings as related to the client and family.
