As a Long Term Care Coordinator, you will be responsible for leading weekly rounds with healthcare professionals, as well as daily handover with nursing staff. You will also conduct various audits, completing reports, admission and discharge paperwork, in addition to the completion for interRAI (Resident Assessment Instrument), the interdisciplinary instrument that contributes to individualized treatment, targeted nursing care, as well as monitoring the quality of service to continue to improve our residents’ quality of life while in a continuing care home.
