Client Support Services
Professionals and experienced support staff in a range of disciplines comprise the interdisciplinary team at Kings Regional Rehabilitation Centre (KRRC). In addition to providing leadership and support to in-Centre programs and Community Options homes, these committed staff provide consultation to other organizations through their involvement with both the Cambridge Community Outreach Group (CCOG) and the Learning and Technology Centre (LTC).
Many of the clients served by KRRC are very complex, and require specialized services and expertise. Each client is assessed for their unique needs with the goad to achieve the highest possible level of independence and autonomy.
Professional services include: Social Work, Nursing, Physician services, Psychiatry, Behavioral Intervention, Occupational Therapy, Physiotherapy, Speech Language Pathology, Nutrition, and Assistive Technology.
Employee Learning & Development
Kings Regional Rehabilitation Centre’s statement of values reflects the importance the organization places on continuous learning and development of its over 600 employees.
The Learning & Development team offers a range of educational opportunities for employees, using a variety of delivery methods. In-house training in a classroom setting is facilitated by both staff and guest facilitators who possess a specific body of knowledge, skills and experience on a given topic. Careful consideration is given to relevant external training opportunities and when prudent, off-site employee attendance is supported by the organization. Employees are also encouraged to take advantage of a variety of on-going web-based educational opportunities. Examples include links to webinars, articles, learning modules and best-practice documents from credible resources.
A comprehensive orientation program is provided to all new employees. In a combination of online learning and a structured classroom setting, employees engage in a general orientation designed to provide a better understanding of the organization, clients, policies and procedures, and fire and safety protocols. All employees are provided with a hands-on orientation to their specific role, responsibilities and work area. Direct client care employees (RRWs, RNs, LPNs, and Youth Workers) participate in a variety of other training particularly relevant to their work, which includes core competencies required by the Department of Community Services.
Committed to collaborating and creating partnerships, KRRC also offers the opportunity for external organizations to participate in workshops such as Behaviour Supports and Low Arousal.
