Services Provided by Medical Social Workers

Emotional and Psychological Support

One of the primary responsibilities of medical social workers is to offer emotional support to seniors who may be dealing with chronic illnesses, disability, or the loss of independence. They help individuals cope with the stress that can accompany these challenges, providing counseling and therapy to enhance mental health and overall well-being.

Resource Coordination

Navigating the healthcare system can be challenging, especially for families that are new to elder care. Medical social workers from Actify assist by connecting seniors and their families with necessary resources such as home health aides, meal delivery services, and transportation options. They help clients access these services quickly, reducing the burden on family members, and enhancing the senior’s quality of life.

Advocacy and Education

Medical social workers also serve as advocates for seniors, ensuring that their rights are protected and their needs are met within the healthcare system. They educate families about the different aspects of senior care, including legal and ethical issues, helping them make informed decisions about treatment and care planning.

Support During Transition

Transitions, such as discharging from hospital to home, or adapting to new health conditions, can be challenging for seniors. Medical social workers assist with these transitions by providing guidance and support, ensuring that the changes do not overwhelm the senior or their family.
