Community Care Solutions with Recruitment and Placement of Skilled and Non-Skilled Workers into Canada
CCS trains Caregivers/Personal Support Workers globally. We offer recruitment and placement of temporary foreign workers to meet the demands of Canada’s Skilled Labour Shortages. Every year, over 90,000 foreign workers enter Canada to work temporarily to help Canadian employers address skill shortages. Citizenship and Immigration Canada (CIC) and Human Resources and Social Development Canada (HRSDC) ensure that these workers will support economic growth in Canada and create more opportunities for all Canadian job seekers. You must have a valid work permit to work in Canada. The demand for skilled and unskilled employees is growing steadily and our services are specific to the needs of the community and employers. Our staff will guide you through the foreign worker and live-in caregiver programs allowing you to concentrate on your core business needs and care for loved ones. Once an employer requests a foreign worker, the process to identify a suitable candidate begins immediately. The process The first step in the process for individuals or families seeking a personal care worker is an in-home assessment by our qualified multi-disciplinary team, including nursing, social work, occupational therapy, and physical therapy, as required. Once a client's requirements are defined, CCS will select a candidate who meets all of those requirements. There will be an eight-week probationary period to ensure that there is a match between the client and caregiver. In the unlikely event of a mismatch, a new candidate will be offered. (Note: personal information on clients and candidates will only be forwarded with the client's or the candidate's permission and payment of applicable fees).
The assessment process The assessment is an in-home evaluation done by a multi-disciplinary team (as required) to determine a client's specific care needs. It will identify high-risk clients with regard to safety for both the client and the caregiver. It will also establish a baseline in order to ensure consistency in care and to allow caregivers to monitor and identify changes in the client's condition. The assessment is done in-home for the comfort and privacy of the client, and to allow the assessment team to evaluate the client in familiar surroundings. It will include an evaluation of communication, encompassing verbal and non-verbal communication and sensory-cognitive deficits (vision or hearing impaired). The assessment consists of a short interview, a questionnaire and observations by the assessment team. Components of the assessment The assessment will address the following: · Overall physical health — body systems, sleep patterns, nutritional levels, past medical history, family history. · Activities of Daily Living (ADLs) — dressing, grooming feeding, toileting, financial management. · Instrumental Activities of Daily Living (IADLs) — shopping, meal preparation, medicine management, transportation. · Advanced Activities of Daily Living (AADLs) — social and recreational activities (crafts, gardening, hobbies) · Safety Assessment of Home — lighting, flooring, assistive devices in place or required, stairs, security. · Social Support — family, number of caregivers, potential abuse.
