Social Services

The Social Worker's job is to assist the residents and families to adjust to placement and to work with the psychosocial needs that may arise during the course of the individual's stay at the facility.  The Social Worker is an emotional support as well as assists with any needs in such areas as adjustment to facility living, mood, financial, individualized concerns and family needs.

Our Social Worker, Beth Cerow, works to meet with families and residents to discuss, evaluate and problem solve in order to focus on rehabilitation and medical needs with minimal stress.  Residents and families are encouraged to meet with the team members as necessary to resolve any special concerns.  These appointments are coordinated through the Social Service office to set a mutually convenient time for discussion.

The Resident Council meets once per month and gives the residents an opportunity to discuss issues pertinent to the quality of their lives. 
The Social Worker and the Activities Director assist the Resident Council Representatives, to maintain an active and involved united
 voice that speaks for all our residents.  There recommendations are communicated to the Administrative team for continued quality
improvement purposes.
