RainCity Housing and Support Society

Description

RainCity Housing is an organization dedicated to providing the best possible services to those in need. The help we provide emanates from our model of best practices as a caring, thoughtful, well-researched, well trained and innovative service organization.

The Nurse assesses, identifies, plans, implements and evaluates the nursing care required to assist ACT team clients in meeting their physical, social, spiritual and psychological needs. The Nurse works within the team’s interdisciplinary clinical framework to provide client centered and strengths based care in accordance with the CRNBC/CRPNBC Standards of Practice and consistent with the mission, vision and values and established policy and protocols of RainCity Housing and the ACT Team. The Nurse provides treatment services that are both inclusionary and flexible for individuals with mental illness, addictions and/or chronic medical conditions and ensures integration and continuity across the care continuum. The Nurse establishes and maintains relationships with, and consults with, service and housing providers, clients, their families and colleagues to provide appropriate treatment services based on best practices and client need. The Nurse performs duties such as, intake, mental and physical health and addictions assessment, treatment planning, crisis intervention, consultation, and individual counseling.

The recognition of this chasm has given rise to support for the need to provide services to these citizens in need. This is a fundamental premise in our work of advancing social equity – the equal opportunity for all to address their basic needs for shelter, food, services and to be treated with dignity.

The mission of RainCity Housing is to advance social equity by building upon the strengths of our community and of each individual. Through innovative practices we provide housing and support, promote health and facilitate hope, opportunity and change for people living with mental illness, addictions and other challenges.
