Social Worker Services

Nightingale Homecare's Social Worker Services are a vital component of our home health care program. Our goal is to improve or maintain the social, emotional, functional and physical health status of each client while enhancing the coping skills of the family and other caregivers.

• Liaison with other members of the health care team
• Advocacy with community agencies
• Information and referral to programs such as Meals on Wheels
• Counseling and crisis intervention
• Applications for financial assistance
• Assistance with long-term care planning and placement counseling
• Coping, social, and emotional problems that often accompany illness
