• Educating Clients & Families: Provide education and practical strategies to clients, families, and caregivers regarding safe mobility, ADLs, energy conservation, cognitive strategies, equipment use, and strategies to maximize independence.


• Monitoring Progress: Track client outcomes, evaluate progress toward functional goals, and modify treatment plans and interventions as needed to ensure care remains responsive to the client's changing needs.


• Maintaining Accurate Documentation: Complete clinical notes, assessment forms, progress reports, and other required documentation in accordance with regulatory standards and Therapia's documentation protocols.


• Communicating with the Care Team: Collaborate with clients' physicians, physiotherapists, nurses, social workers, caregivers, and other healthcare professionals as needed to support continuity and quality of care.


• Ensuring Client Safety: Identify and address risks related to falls, transfers, functional mobility, cognitive impairment, and the home environment. Follow appropriate infection control and safety protocols at all times.


• Managing Your Schedule Independently: Coordinate your appointments directly with clients via Therapia's platform, allowing you to work efficiently and autonomously within your preferred service area.
