HOSPICE SOCIAL WORKERS

The best possible hospice care includes more than just medical care. A compassionate and dedicated team of physicians, home health aides, nurses, volunteers, therapists, counselors and social workers provide the necessary care and support to each patient. Along with providing care and support to individuals, the hospice care team makes home visits, and can coordinate community services based on the needs of each individual patient.

Advocating To Improve Quality of Life

All Caring Hospice social workers have been specially trained in end-of-life care. They are uniquely qualified to form connections with each patient and advocate for them during their journey. Hospice Social Workers assess emotional and spiritual needs, assist with financial concerns and legal matters, provide direct counseling, assist with end-of-life planning and help facilitate communication between the family, health care professionals and community agencies.

Hospice Social Workers are dedicated to listening to and learning about each patient at a deeper level and relay information back to the rest of the interdisciplinary hospice care team. The social worker’s goal is to assist each patient, and their loved ones, through this difficult situation as smoothly and as stress free as possible.
