Social Work Services & Support

The Vital Role of Social Workers in Your Care Journey

As part of our skilled nursing care team, patients enrolled in our home care program can access social work support. We want to ensure that we can help address our patient’s physical and emotional needs. 

Having the right support system makes all the difference when navigating health care challenges, whether for yourself or a loved one. Social workers play a pivotal role in helping to ensure access to the resources and emotional support you need. 

At MJHS, our licensed social workers bring expertise, compassion, and cultural understanding to address your physical, emotional, and environmental needs.

Expertise You Can Rely On

Our social workers hold master’s degrees and are licensed professionals with specialized skills to provide a wide range of support. They work closely with patients, families, and the rest of the care team to create a personalized approach that prioritizes your well-being.

Bilingual and Culturally-Trained

Understanding the importance of communication and cultural sensitivity, many of our social workers are bilingual and trained to meet the needs of our diverse communities. They ensure every patient feels understood, respected, and supported, no matter their background or language preference.

How Our Social Workers Help

Social workers are an integral part of your care team, offering essential services such as:

• Counseling: Emotional challenges can arise when facing new or changing health conditions. Our social workers provide compassionate counseling to help you and your family cope with changes that may have occurred in your functionality or activity level and the stress this may create.
• Medicaid Applications and Entitlements: Navigating Medicaid applications and understanding entitlements can feel overwhelming. Our social workers offer expert guidance to help simplify the process and ensure you get the support you deserve.
• Personalized support means linking you to community programs, services, and resources that will help support your recovery and ongoing quality of life, such as transportation, home care, or meal assistance.
