Operating as a “Person-Centered Caregiver,” you are responsible for executing individualized care plans and identifying evolving resident needs.

Technical Insights: The Person-Centered Care Model

At AgeCare, the “Person-Centered” approach means care is tailored to the individual, not just the diagnosis.

• IPAC Protocols: In a long-term care setting, IPAC is the first line of defense. You will be trained in “Routine Practices,” which include risk assessment, hand hygiene, and the proper use of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) to prevent outbreaks.

• The “Calling” of Documentation: In Ontario LTC, “Point-of-Care” documentation is vital. Your notes provide the data necessary for the interdisciplinary team to adjust medications, physical therapy, or nutritional plans.
