Although our Social Services professionals provide a wide array of support to individuals and families, their primary concern is providing holistic, person-centered care for those they serve. At the hospital, we serve patients by performing case management duties including assessing, planning and arranging safe and effective services to meet the patient’s needs both in the hospital setting and upon discharge. We then help patients plan and carry out their individualized discharge plans. We also can arrange for patients to receive skilled swing bed services for continued rehab or medical treatment when a patient is not quite ready to return home. |

At the Manor, we serve residents by assisting with their basic needs, coordinating social services and also act as representatives for seniors who are unable to advocate for themselves. We conduct admission interviews and paperwork, inform residents and their families of their rights, advocate for residents with social services organizations, help residents adjust to living in the facility and coordinate care services. Coordinating care services may involve ensuring that Medicare, Medicaid and other billing issues are appropriately handled, informing mental health and medical staff if residents require services and scheduling medical and other appointments for residents. We also work with residents and family members to coordinate a discharge plan if they are ready to go home or to alternate facility by setting up services in the home if needed.
