· Promote residents' independence, safety, comfort, and quality of life through interventions that support meaningful occupation and maximize functional abilities.

· Provide occupational therapy interventions as appropriate, which may include seating and positioning, transfers, upper extremity rehabilitation, pressure injury prevention, edema management/compression therapy, feeding/swallowing support, environmental modification, and behavioural strategies.

· Evaluate outcomes and modify interventions based on resident response and changing needs.

4. Equipment and Assistive Technology

· Assess, recommend, prescribe, and authorize adaptive equipment, mobility devices, seating systems, wheelchairs, pressure redistribution surfaces, and other assistive technology, as appropriate.

· Coordinate equipment trials, vendor consultations, funding applications (including AADL), procurement, and follow-up, as required.

· Recommend environmental modifications and adaptive strategies to support safe participation in daily activities.

5. Education and Consultation

· Provide education and consultation to residents, families, staff, students, and volunteers regarding occupational therapy services and interventions, as appropriate.

· Act as an occupational therapy resource to the interdisciplinary team to support best practices and resident-centered care.

6. Documentation and Care Planning

· Maintain accurate, timely, and professional documentation in accordance with legislative, regulatory, and organizational requirements.

· Contribute to care planning, Minimum Data Set (MDS) assessments, quarterly reviews, and ongoing evaluation of resident outcomes.

7. Quality Improvement and Professional Practice

· Practice in accordance with Alberta legislation, regulatory standards, organizational policies, and evidence-informed occupational therapy practice.

· Participate in quality improvement, program evaluation, committee work, research activities, and continuous professional development.

· Maintain professional competence through continuing education and evidence-informed practice.

8. Health, Safety, and Risk Management

· Promote safe, resident-centered care through assessment, education, clinical recommendations, least-restraint approaches, and evidence-informed practice.

· Identify and support mitigation of risks related to mobility, transfers, falls, skin integrity, seating, equipment, and the care environment.

· Support fall prevention, restraint reduction, infection prevention and control practices, and compliance with occupational health and safety requirements.
