Social Worker Assessment & Family Counseling
Our qualified Social Workers will provide medical social service to assess the situation of patients and their families. Our Medical Social Workers are dedicated to helping you and your family in understanding the social and emotional factors related to your specific situation.
They counsel patients, advise family caregivers, and help plan for patients needs. Our Medical Social Workers are compassionate listeners, counselors, and advocates for you and your family, helping to represent your concerns with physicians and other care givers while also providing support and methods of coping with difficult issues. We require our Medical Social Workers to have a Master’s Degree in social work, with at least one year of social work experience in a health care setting.
Our Social Workers Provide:
- Assistance with Advance Directives
- Counseling
- Evaluation of Emotional State
- Long-Term Care Planning
- Resource Planning
Our Assessment Process:
When a patient is interested in care for themselves or a loved one, our representatives are available 24 hours a day, seven days a week to help. We will conduct an initial phone assessment and evaluate the most appropriate services for their unique needs.
Once we have all necessary information, Med Plus HealthCare will conduct a Case Conference to determine the most appropriate treatment plan recommendation. Our Intake Coordinator will then work in direct conjunction with the patient’s physicians and other health care providers to receive their orders and coordinate our services directly with their Plan of Care. We also contact and verify the insurance provider/payer source (i.e. Medicare, private insurance, etc.).
We will then send our Registered Nurse to the patient’s home to complete a full physical assessment. If additional services are determined to be needed, the Registered Nurse will then communicate with the patient’s doctors or other healthcare providers to coordinate the appropriate care.
Throughout our patient’s healthcare service, our team members are dedicated to providing professional and compassionate care, tailored to meet their individual healthcare needs.
