Our Philosophy
Coordinated and functional programming
NRS offers a full range of case coordination, therapy and rehabilitation coaching services to help clients achieve their unique functional goals, which may include:
- Becoming as independent as possible.
- Resuming old interests or discovering new ones.
- Achieving at school.
- Returning to paid or non-paid work.
- And/or having meaningful relationships.
The NRS team will ensure there is communication and collaboration amongst all parties involved through informal discussions, regular family/team meetings and shared reports.
Client & family centered practice
NRS is a leader in the area of client and family centered programming, which involves:
- Providing caring, compassionate programming.
- Seeking out client and family member concerns, preferences and priorities.
- Building on individual strengths and interests.
- Supporting client choice and risk taking.
- Helping clients and families become their own advocates.
Evidence based practice
Evidence based practice entails helping clients and families make informed decisions about each client’s health and rehabilitation by integrating the latest clinical research findings with practitioner expertise, while taking into consideration their unique characteristics, state, needs, values and preferences. NRS not only attracts some of the most skilled and experienced rehab professionals in the industry, it also ensures staff keep up to date through the following:
- Providing educational allowances so staff may attend conferences, offering in-house training programs and providing access to our library. By keeping abreast of the latest research findings and technology, staff are better able to educate clients and families about the potential risks and benefits of the various treatment strategies, and help them to make informed decisions about their rehabilitation.
- Supporting staff involvement in research initiatives.
- Supporting staff in educational initiatives (e.g. teaching courses at the University of Toronto, offering clinical placements for student interns, organizing major symposia and individual workshops for hospital teams, teachers, insurers, case managers and lawyers, publishing articles, etc.).
- Encouraging staff involvement in activities within their profession and the rehabilitation committee.
Culturally sensitive programming
We recognize the importance of respecting each client’s unique experiences, perspectives and values. To this end, wherever possible, we strive to provide a “cultural match” between the therapist and client.
We are also able to provide a number of programs and services in languages other than English.
