How VNA Home Health Medical Social Workers can help you
The journey to recovery can sometimes feel overwhelming and confusing for both the patient and caregiver. There are many important conversations that need to take place, and you may not always know what resources are available to help you and your family.
While nurses and therapists focus on healing and recovery, medical social workers bridge the gap between patient and resources while providing emotional support as well. Social workers play a vital role in being a patient advocate, promoting patient education, assisting with documents and financial assistance and being a pillar of support for patients and families.

When home health is ordered, a social worker may do an assessment and ask questions for the patient and family. Social workers address a number of issues affecting patients including end-of-life decisions, homelessness, facility resources and medication adherence. Social workers focus on strengthening the patient’s network of support to address the patient’s need. In some cases, social workers may
be called upon to do a psychosocial assessment and establish an intervention plan if necessary. Working with a physician, a medical social worker can provide counsel and find appropriate resources for the patient.
