•Document and Report: Maintain a daily log of resident smoke breaks, conduct smoking evaluations, document behaviors, and report any incidents or safety concerns to appropriate staff members.
•Assist Residents: Provide assistance to residents in the smoking area as needed.
•Coordination: Coordinate with nursing and activities teams to schedule supervised smoking breaks for dependent residents and ensure supervision is available.
