We are currently recruiting for Alternate Family Caregivers in the Grand Falls-Windsor, Gander, Lewisporte, Springdale and Baie Verte areas.
Community Support and Residential Services uses a single entry service model for service delivery.
SINGLE POINT OF ENTRY
Single point of entry allows individuals/clients to obtain information and gain access to a broad range of health and social programs including community, facility based, home support and other supportive services. Access to these programs and services is based on a coordinated, interdisciplinary approach to assessment and placement.
Assessment is interdisciplinary and is the collection and collation of information to determine strengths and needs. The client is an integral part of this process and the type of assessment(s) required is determined by professionals involved.
The Long Term Care and Community Support Program: Adult Needs Assessment is a comprehensive, functional tool designed to assist health care professionals to objectively assess client's care needs, and determine appropriate placement options. The format is designed to ensure objectivity and allows comments by the assessor to describe or define client's status or needs.
The Long Term Care and Community Support Program: Adult Needs Assessment is completed upon initial client assessment to access:
-
home support services;
-
personal care home;
-
long term care home;
-
respite care;
-
alternate family care;
-
board and lodging (with relatives or non-relatives);
-
independent living arrangements;
-
other residential options;
-
access professional services; and
-
when there is significant change in the client's condition and services are still required.
Placement is the outcome of the assessment process.
PLACEMENT COORDINATION
The Placement Coordination Program, through its Regional Placement Coordinators, is responsible for the screening and approval of requests for service and coordination for or on behalf of the client and/or family to:
-
facilitate placement within a community based or facility based residential options, and/or
-
obtain home support and other supportive services that will enable the client to meet service goals and expected outcomes.
Placement coordination is both a concept and a process. As a concept, it is a system of relationships between direct service providers, agencies, and clients.
As a process, it is an interaction within a service network which assures that a client receives needed services in a supportive, effective, efficient and cost effective manner.
CASE MANAGEMENT
Case Management is a method of providing services whereby professionals work
collaboratively to:
-
assess the strengths and needs of the client and the client's family when appropriate; and
-
advocate for, arrange, coordinate, monitor, and evaluate, a package of services to meet the client's needs.
The anticipated outcome of the Case Management approach is improved quality of care to clients.

-
