# Medical Social Work

Navigating the emotional and practical side of care

## About This Service

Dealing with a serious illness or recovery is not just a medical challenge — it is an emotional, financial, and logistical one. Our licensed medical social workers help patients and families navigate the complexities of healthcare, connect with community resources, address emotional and mental health needs, and plan for the future. They are an essential part of the home health care team.

#### Who It Helps

Medical social work services benefit patients and families dealing with complex care needs, financial concerns related to healthcare, emotional distress, caregiver burnout, advance care planning, or difficulty accessing community resources.

#### What to Expect

Your social worker will conduct a psychosocial assessment, identify needs and barriers, connect you with appropriate resources, provide counseling and emotional support, and assist with advance care planning and insurance navigation.

### Care Coordination

Our social workers collaborate with nurses, therapists, physicians, and community organizations to ensure patients and families receive comprehensive support.

#### When to Call

If you or a loved one is feeling overwhelmed by the emotional, financial, or logistical aspects of managing a health condition, our social workers can help.
