Job Description:
Are you an experienced registered nurse, physiotherapist, occupational therapist, social worker (MSW), dietitian, or speech language pathologist seeking a rewarding career that cares for others, in a professional practice that cares for you? You’re looking in the right place.

As an Aging in Place **Bilingual Care Coordinator**, you will assess and determine patient care needs and eligibility, provide access and referrals to community services, and engage with patients, caregivers and other health care practitioners.

He/she also determines eligibility for and arranges for Ontario Health atHome-approved health care services and refers patients and caregivers to other community resources and programs.

As a member of the Congregate Care Team, the Care Coordinator plays an integral role in Retirement Homes or Aging in Place buildings. Care Coordinators partner closely with patients, families, caregivers, service providers and other community health and social service providers to support patients in their home environment. The Care Coordinator regularly participates and provides guidance in meetings with key stakeholders involved at each site and fosters active direct engagement with patients and their care partners.
