6. Implement best practices as part of the interdisciplinary team related to dementia, delirium, and mental health issues, including the effect on the resident, family member, and caregiver within the PSW scope of practice.
7. Practice proper hand hygiene techniques while performing all duties.
8. Answer call bells and provide care to residents as required.
9. Commitment to quality improvement and change initiatives.
10. Responsible for accurate and complete documentation on the resident records, including daily flow sheets, restraint flow sheets, and incidental charting in Nursing Progress notes.
11. Effectively communicate within the team.
12. Demonstrate personal growth and development.
13. Complete mandatory education yearly as assigned.
14. Perform responsibilities within legislative and regulatory standards set out in the applicable Provincial and Municipal Acts.
15. Perform responsibilities consistent with the operational policies of the employer, Provincial Standards for Long Term Care, and Residents’ Bill of Rights.

What We're Looking For :

1. Personal Support Worker Certificate from an Accredited Ontario College or an approved HCA certification program from another province, as per the Long-Term Care Homes Act.
2. GPA training is considered an asset or willingness to obtain the training once hired.
