Certificate in Resident Care Worker - Prince of Wales Campus in Charlottetown Canada | Holland College

As a resident care worker, your role involves delivering secure, skilled, and ethical care to a wide range of clients with different illnesses and disabilities throughout their lives. Your responsibilities include offering personal care, support, and help with daily activities like mobility assistance, positioning, meal preparation, dressing, hygiene maintenance, and toileting. You'll work as part of a multidisciplinary team, addressing clients' comprehensive needs—physical, emotional, social, cognitive, cultural, and spiritual—through a holistic approach.

Your training covers essential resident care principles, human anatomy, mental health, and communication skills, supplemented by hands-on lab sessions and supervised clinical placements. These practical experiences allow you to develop your abilities in various healthcare environments. Clinical rotations may take place at different sites across Prince Edward Island, and since care is provided around the clock, your schedule could include early mornings, days, evenings, nights, weekends, or holidays. Students are responsible for all placement-related expenses, with no assurance of preferred locations or shifts. Transportation to clinical sites is also the student's responsibility, and public transit may not accommodate all schedules or locations.
