Activities
The social worker is available for assistance with discharge planning, such as making referrals to a home health agency, setting up "Meals Each Day," or acquiring needed equipment for your return home. Discharge Planning can also mean finding a nursing home placement. The social worker can also help you make contact with the county in order to apply for medical assistance when needed. In addition, she can discuss with you financial needs regarding continued care, as well as your financial standing and options. Swing bed and respite bed stays will also involve the social worker, who will take a social history and help explain these two types of care and their availability.
