  • Providing communication interventions for residents with neurological or age-related conditions
  • Educating patients, families, and caregivers on strategies that promote independence and safety
  • Collaborating with PT, OT, nursing, and other interdisciplinary team members
  • Completing accurate and timely clinical documentation, progress reports, and discharge recommendations
