They are the first to notice signs that there have been changes to a client\u2019s health or capacity to care for themselves. In order to adequately identify changes, our workers need to become familiar with what the \u201cbaseline\u201d looks like for each of the clients they provide service to. When changes from the baseline are recognized, workers must report these concerns to their CSS and SC and call the Client Support Centre if the situation is an emergency.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">In the month of May, many of our PSWs proactively reported and responded to concerns regarding the clients they serve, allowing for appropriate actions to be taken quickly to ensure the client\u2019s safety. Here are a few examples of our PSWs reporting client safety concerns over the last month:<\/p>\n<ul style=\"text-align: left;\">\n<li><strong>PSW Dianne Clark<\/strong> noticed that a client she provides service to took longer to open the door than usual and had a new bruise. Dianne reported this to her CSS, who notified the family. The family was able to arrange to see the client that day to monitor.<\/li>\n<li><strong>PSW Shayesteh Razavion<\/strong> reported that a client she was with appeared sad and was shaking. Shayesteh\u2019s CSS made contact with the client who said they were having an off day, and was able to recommend some services to support the client\u2019s overall well-being.<\/li>\n<li><strong>PSW Rowena Cerezo <\/strong>noticed that the client she was providing service for was not completing his care routine in full after an extended vacation. Rowena reported to her CSS who followed up with the client and the HCCSS to ensure there were enough supports in place to keep the client safe and healthy.<\/li>\n<li><strong>PSW Belaynesh Panaoti<\/strong> recognized that her client was showing signs of a stroke and immediately called 911. The client was able to be assessed in the hospital and it was discovered that the client did have a stroke, as Belaynesh had suspected.<\/li>\n<li><strong>PSW Alice Magtalas<\/strong> saw that her client showed signs of choking. Alice immediately had a family member call 911 and began performing abdominal thrusts, dislodging the item from the client\u2019s throat.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Thanks to the great observations of our workers, the clients involved in these cases were able to receive the best care possible. Thank you Dianne, Shayesteh, Rowena, Belaynesh and Alice for your keen attention to our clients\u2019 well-being!<\/p>\n[\/vc_column_text][divider line_type=&#8221;Full Width Line&#8221; line_thickness=&#8221;1&#8243; divider_color=&#8221;default&#8221; custom_height=&#8221;10&#8243;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=&#8221;in_container&#8221; full_screen_row_position=&#8221;middle&#8221; column_margin=&#8221;default&#8221; column_direction=&#8221;default&#8221; column_direction_tablet=&#8221;default&#8221; column_direction_phone=&#8221;default&#8221; scene_position=&#8221;center&#8221; text_color=&#8221;dark&#8221; text_align=&#8221;left&#8221; row_border_radius=&#8221;none&#8221; row_border_radius_applies=&#8221;bg&#8221; overflow=&#8221;visible&#8221; overlay_strength=&#8221;0.3&#8243; gradient_direction=&#8221;left_to_right&#8221; shape_divider_position=&#8221;bottom&#8221; bg_image_animation=&#8221;none&#8221;][vc_column column_padding=&#8221;no-extra-padding&#8221; column_padding_tablet=&#8221;inherit&#8221; column_padding_phone=&#8221;inherit&#8221; column_padding_position=&#8221;all&#8221; column_element_spacing=&#8221;default&#8221; centered_text=&#8221;true&#8221; background_color_opacity=&#8221;1&#8243; background_hover_color_opacity=&#8221;1&#8243; column_shadow=&#8221;none&#8221; column_border_radius=&#8221;none&#8221; column_link_target=&#8221;_self&#8221; column_position=&#8221;default&#8221; gradient_direction=&#8221;left_to_right&#8221; overlay_strength=&#8221;0.3&#8243; width=&#8221;1\/1&#8243; tablet_width_inherit=&#8221;default&#8221; tablet_text_alignment=&#8221;default&#8221; phone_text_alignment=&#8221;default&#8221; animation_type=&#8221;default&#8221; bg_image_animation=&#8221;none&#8221; border_type=&#8221;simple&#8221; column_border_width=&#8221;none&#8221; column_border_style=&#8221;solid&#8221;][vc_custom_heading text=&#8221;Champions of Care Nominations&#8221; font_container=&#8221;tag:h2|text_align:center|color:%23ffffff&#8221; use_theme_fonts=&#8221;yes&#8221; css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1647264839974{padding-top: 5px !important;padding-right: 2px !important;padding-bottom: 5px !important;padding-left: 2px !important;background-color: #002d72 !important;border-radius: 5px !important;}&#8221;][vc_column_text]\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Congratulations to this week&#8217;s Champions of Care nominees:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"text-align: left;\">&#8220;Documentation is an important component of assessing a client&#8217;s well being and is a vital step in ensuring the safety of all of our clients.\u00a0I would like to personally congratulate <strong>PSW Tusiwen Sumarjo<\/strong> for her excellent documentation and verbal communication skills.

If you feel that you have done exemplary work or have heard positive feedback from a client or caregiver, we encourage you to speak with people manager or supervisor about this whenever these occur, and also when you have your performance review with them in the coming weeks\/months. They may offer advice and suggestions to you for improvement or continued success in your role. They may also be able to support your clients\/caregivers with submitting a nomination to recognize your outstanding work.
