Respond and manage clients during times of crisis to include client monitoring, verbal de-escalation strategies, and ensure the safety of all clients, staff, and family members at these times using the Crisis Prevention and Response Training. Organize and supervise recreational outings/activities such as birthday parties, movie and dinner outings and other community based recreational activities. Provide a safe, clean, healthy home-like environment in compliance with Federal and State standards and teaching model procedures by maintaining attendance and census records; scheduling and performing daily household maintenance chores including cleaning and laundry; preparing and serving nutritional meals to clients following menus based on dietary and nutritional information including the four basic food groups; and procuring household supplies from warehouse and retail stores.
