Medical Social Work

Social services medical workers are the people whose primary specialty is helping people in need, whether it is mental health care, palliative medicine, hospice, or rehabilitative care centers. Medical social service employees in Medicare can be very narrow and specialized (for example, the worker deals only with patients with Alzheimer’s disease), and work with different medical conditions. Usually, these workers cooperate with medical professionals, like doctors and nurses. At Luba`s home care, we believe that medical social services in New York are extremely important for everyone. And we will be happy to clarify for you, what precisely it is that our social service medical workers do for patients and their families.

What Do Medical Social Services Workers in NY Do?

Below you can see a shortlist of options that we provide at Luba`s home care. Keep in mind that this is only a general list, and we try to find an individual approach to everyone. Contact us for private counseling.

Help with Care Planning

Often families do not know what to do and where to go when it comes to a critical situation. The medical social service worker will help you to find all the home care services you need and will arrange everything for you (with your approval, of course).

Personal Counselor

A medical social service worker will gently and thoroughly explain to you every little detail about your illness and its nature, will tell the family and the patient how to deal effectively with the condition, the symptoms, and treatment. In unfortunate cases, social services medical workers can also be grief counselors, to help relatives or patients deal with overwhelming trauma-related feelings.

Patient’s Advocate

Medical social service workers sometimes appear as a middleman between the patient and the community. They help people who have difficulties expressing themselves (communications barriers, cultural differences, disabilities). Social services medical workers help these patients by meeting their needs.

Financial Help

It is not a secret that having an illness, especially chronic or acute, is far from being cheap. Sometimes, families cannot afford to provide everything that is needed for the patient. So what should be done, if the ill person is a parent? Who will take care of his dependents? New York social services medical agency’s workers help with obtaining financial help, food, and health care.
