When an individual lives with an illness that inevitably progresses over time, a family will eventually need to make some tough calls regarding their loved one’s quality of life and health care choices.
At Angel Home Healthcare Services we know that decisions regarding a loved one’s health care should never be taken lightly. That’s why we are proud to offer our medical social services to family members that want to guarantee the best medical decisions for their loved ones.
What is a Medical Social Worker?
Medical social workers meet with the patient and family/caregiver during their time of need and help them to make adjustments to the impact of illness and their health care.
Our medical social workers can provide assessment and possible referral to community resources for social, emotional, financial, and personal problems related to their illness and recovery.
Our social service professionals can also assist with long-term planning and medication resources.
What Are the Benefits of Medical Social Services?
Social workers are medical professionals that are in place to solely represent the patient’s point of view and solidify their well-being in a healthcare setting. For those that are homebound and require in-home care, medical social services are especially important because they help make permanent improvements directly at the source of an individual’s personal care.
When our medical social service professionals come to your loved one’s home you can expect us to help with the following needs:
- Answers to questions you may have about your loved one’s illness and future care options
- Professional assessment of your loved one’s physical and mental condition
- Financial planning and help finding assistance
- Counseling for individuals as well as their families
- Quality case management
- Discharge planning if your loved one requires hospital care
How Does Angel Home Healthcare Services Take Care Above and Beyond?
Yes, medical social services help create an official plan for homebound individuals. However, there is usually the need for other health care services that would further improve your loved one’s quality of life.
We are prepared to give your loved one the health care services they need through reliable, affordable, and effective in-home health care. Aside from medical social services, our professionals can provide the following in-home needs:
Any plan we create through our medical social services can easily coincide with our other services and guarantee successful care at lower rates than seeking them out from an off-site source.
