Help overcome mobility challenges and physical disabilities, including aid and equipment usage.
Ensure residents’ comfort by making beds, tidying rooms, and handling light cleaning.
Support eating and drinking, prepare meals, and provide assistance as needed.
Contribute to specialized care plans (e.g., dementia care, re-enablement, continence management).
Administer prescribed medications according to care plans.
Assist temporarily sick residents with minor dressings, bed nursing
