Rehabilitation Assistants
Our Rehabilitation Assistants work alongside the clients’ therapy team to implement rehabilitation goals and therapy programmes. They also contribute to goal-planning and measuring outcomes. They receive clinical supervision from KT Healthcare clinicians and maintain clinical records which are shared regularly with the case manager and multidisciplinary team.
Hands-On Support for Everyday Life
Our Rehabilitation Assistants can offer the following services:
Living Skills & Everyday Independence
Support to gain independence in activities of daily living, e.g. cooking, meal planning, budgeting, shopping, planning the daily routine, attendance at community activities, use of public transport, maintaining hobbies, voluntary roles, attending appointments, etc.
Following Your Therapy Programmes
Following therapy programmes for cognition, communication, well-being, emotional regulation and specific physiotherapy exercises and strategies including exercise programmes.
Medication & Personal Care Support
Support the client to manage their medications where a system for this is in place, e.g. through the use of prompts or memory aids, including reminders to submit prescription requests. They may assist with developing independence in personal care routines in line with recommendations from the therapy team, although they do not carry out personal care themselves. Please note that our Rehabilitation Assistants are not trained to administer rescue medications, e.g. in the event of a seizure, or set up and administer PEG feeds.
Care That Brings Everyone Together
The focus is therapy and rehabilitation and therefore for clients with more complex needs, the Rehabilitation Assistants will work alongside family members and those providing the care package, to specifically address rehabilitation goals.
Our Rehabilitation Assistants are high calibre individuals with experience and the personal qualities to make a difference in the lives of the clients they support. We have a robust recruitment process and deliberately keep the team small so we can focus on quality.
