You support and motivate the individual to want to develop and maintain their physical, cognitive, and social abilities with a focus on a meaningful and dignified day based on their wishes and needs. This often involves making assessments and adapting the daily environment. You will trial and prescribe physical and cognitive aids. You will guide care staff in rehabilitative efforts, approaches, and transfer techniques.
