Our team of dedicated Therapy Support Workers work with Regulated Health Care Professionals to assist clients to maximize their optimal level of independence. All therapy support workers have a secondary degree in a relevant field.

Therapy Support Workers work under the direction of a regulated health care professional, psychologist, occupational therapist, physiotherapist, physician and registered nurse.

Improving someones quality of life can be accomplished through functional approaches to rehabilitation designed specifically to address real world issues - living, working, and accessing the community. When appropriate community based rehabilitation is available, the likelihood of success in returning to pre-accident level of activity increases.

Program evaluation includes objective data, standardized score (established with regulated health care professional) and a supervision plan.

Community based programs are designed to focus on the individuals needs. Emphasis is made on enhancing skills and activities to help the person achieve optimal levels of independence when the opportunity to learn in their own environment, allowing learning to be reality based, is presented.

Community based rehabilitation involves establishing goals with the person who has been injured and thus involving the program in the persons life rather than involving the persons life into the program.

Community based support personnel work to facilitate empowerment in all aspects of daily life. This is accomplished through a client focused, goal oriented approach to care, involving physical, emotional, intellectual, social and vocational needs.
