Understanding the role of the Life Skills Facilitator

The traditional carer is re-envisioned as an enabling supporter in this universal worker role, which combines care, therapeutic and clinical input, and companionship into one. 

LSFs strive to increase each person's abilities without placing any restrictions on them. LSFs support rehabilitation and clinical practice in everything they do, enabling and empowering activities of daily living that increase people's independence, functional abilities, and confidence through every interaction, every day. They do this by always keeping person-centred therapeutic goals and desired outcomes in mind.

LSFs provide three major types of support for neurorehabilitation:

• LSFs help people achieve their goals by enabling them to live as independently as possible. LSFs enable rather than perform tasks for people by offering companionship, personal care, assistance with dressing, cooking, and facilitating participation in social activities.
• LSFs are uniquely qualified to bring rehabilitation to life, whether through personal care activities like dressing or during social activities. They are in charge of administering medication and are trained by and collaborate with nurses, therapists, and wellbeing colleagues. Therapy is no longer limited to a specific therapy session or the gym. To put it simply, LSFs facilitate rehabilitation on a daily basis in all interactions.
• The LSF model of care gives patients the assurance that the carers they interact with most frequently are competent and capable of carrying out therapeutic interventions outside of scheduled therapy sessions. LSFs develop encyclopaedic knowledge of everyone they care for and become acutely aware of signs of fatigue, variations in communication styles, and the effects of medication changes.
