Description des services:
|
The goal of the Program is to collaboratively
implement Behavioural Supports Action Plan within the Toronto Central catchment
area. The goals of the program include:
·
Improving the quality of life,
and outcomes, for older adults (and their families) who have challenging
behaviours.
·
Increase specialized
behavioural support capacity in long-term care homes.
·
Improve co-ordination
and reduce fragmentation of the community behavioural support system to ensure
more equitable and timely access to services.
·
Increase specialized
community capacity/outreach to support individuals to stay in their existing
environment, reduce or prevent unmanageable behaviours.
·
Improve transitions
across the continuum.
·
Increase workforce
skills and training for providers across the continuum.
·
Improve caregiver
education and support.
·
Prevent unnecessary and
avoidable emergency room visits and potential hospitalization for clients with
challenging and unmanageable behaviours through access to an enhanced model of
care.
·
Reduce hospital
alternative level of care days.
The Behavioural Supports Coordinating Office is responsible for the Centralized Intake of BSO Outreach Teams (Community, LTC and Acute Care), Geriatric Addictions Specialist, BSO ED program, BSO COSS Urgent Behaviour Support Specialist and BSO Alzheimer’s Society of Toronto Caregiver Specialist referrals in the Toronto Central region.
