Assisted Living Facilities

Many assisted living facilities can benefit greatly from a social worker. Our social workers can come in on a contract basis to provide services regularly or as needed.

A social worker's role in assisted living facilities can include:

• Conducting psychosocial assessments upon admission or return from a hospitalization.
• Administering Depression and/or Cognitive Assessments.
• Meeting with families to address care or any other issues.
• Working with nurses as an interdiciplanary team.
• Addressing adult protection concerns.
• Assist tenants and/or their families with paperwork for county programs.

A few hours per week of social services can result in lower tenant turnover.
