March is National Social Work Month, and it is a great time to highlight how social workers support patients and families in both home health and hospice care.💙
While the foundation of social work remains the same, the focus of care changes depending on the patient’s needs and stage of care.
In home health, social workers often help patients and families:
🪢Connect with community resources and financial assistance
📢Address social and environmental factors that impact safety at home
📋Plan for long-term support and stability
In hospice care, the focus shifts to:
❤️🩹Emotional support and counseling
🤲Guidance through end-of-life decisions and care preferences
🫂Bereavement support for families
Understanding these differences can help families make informed decisions about the type of care that best fits their needs.
If you or someone you know may benefit from home health or hospice services, we invite you to learn more about how our team supports patients and families:
