Genesis rehab support workers provide community support to individuals living with the effects of an acquired brain injury and/or mental health diagnosis. In addition to helping clients adapt to their day-to-day challenges, each rehab support worker facilitates the rehabilitation process by assisting clients as they work toward meaningful, productive, and structured lives.
Under the direct supervision of a regulated healthcare professional, our rehab support workers provide one-to-one programming. This is vitally important for clients who have sustained functional impairments, as they must relearn the skill sets and activity prerequisites needed to successfully re-engage in activities of daily living and community reintegration.
The rehab support worker is a member of the rehabilitation team which may consist of Case Management, Occupational Therapy, Physiotherapy, Speech-Language Pathology, Psychiatry, Psychology, and treating Physicians and specialists.
Our rehab support workers are skilled observers of each client’s strengths and weaknesses, readily communicating this information to regulated healthcare professionals. In addition, detailed progress notes and comprehensive reports are provided to the treatment team to ensure a transparent and seamless communication model. This process enhances interdisciplinary teamwork.
Our rehab support workers are particularly skilled at working with other professionals to adapt ongoing programs and strategies with the resources available. Outcome measures are objective and quantifiable, resulting in maximum recovery and overall improved quality of life for the client.
At Genesis Community Rehabilitation, Inc., each rehab support worker is required to possess a post-secondary education within the health or social services field as well as a minimum of four years of related experience. In addition to being certified in Cardiac Pulmonary Resuscitation (CPR), First Aid and Non-Violent Crisis Prevention and Intervention (NVCPI), and/or Safe Management, all team members are committed to continuing education and ongoing professional development.
