Social Services Manager
CurrentI am currently employed by Hazel Findlay Country Manor a residential rehab facility for the elderly. I manage a case load of about 30 residents who are both short term, and long term residents. I conduct monthly, quarterly and annual assessments to monitor improvements or declines in cognition, mood, and behavior. Im tasked with monitoring psychotropic drug use and if necessary suggest changes to prescriptions in regards to dosage and frequency of use. If a resident discharges home, I provide discharge counseling and make sure that they receive any and all adaptive equipment they may need post therapy to ensure continuity of care once they're home. I also provide referral support for Physical, Occupational, and Speech Language Therapy and Nursing Services for short term rehab residents. I hold quarterly care conferences to keep family, friends, and other agencies informed of any significant changes during residents stay. In addition to the above responsibilities I advocate for residents who may be susceptible to mistreatment or abuse due to their age, cognitive disabilities, or any other number of risk factors.
