Personal Care Assistant (Clinical Training) - Henri Bradet Residence - Montreal, QC

Many residents at Henri-Bradet have cognitive deficits or dementia, requiring a calm approach and the ability to work at the resident's pace. I assist residents with their morning wash showers, dressing, and grooming. This includes changing briefs and ensuring skin integrity.

I help residents get around the facility using walkers or wheelchairs and assist with transfer from bed to chair. I support residents during breakfast, lunch, or supper. This involves feeding assistance for those with physical disabilities or memory loss and ensuring they stay hydrated.

Personal Care Assistant (Clinical Training) - Montreal General Hospital (ER) - Montreal, QC

I assist patients who are being held in the ER with hygiene care, dressing, and nutrition assistance. I act as the eyes and ears of the team, reporting any changes in a patient's behaviour or health status directly to the assigned nurse. I transport patient by stretcher or wheelchair to various departments, such as Medical Imaging (X-ray, CT scan) or specialized trauma units.

Volunteer - Henri-Bradet Residential Centre - Montreal, QC

As a volunteer at the Henri-Bradet Residential Centre, my role is to enhance the quality of life for residents by providing social and emotional support. Unlike a PAB, I focus on non-medical tasks that help residents stay connected and active. I visit isolated residents for one-on-one socialization and conversation. I as a volunteer trained to help residents who have physical or memory challenges with their meals (breakfast, lunch).
