What Do Hospice Social Workers Do?

Hospice social workers are specially trained professionals who provide various services tailored to the unique needs of each patient and their family. These licensed medical social workers have extensive experience in end-of-life care and are an integral part of the multidisciplinary team at Assurance Hospice. They address a broad spectrum of needs, ensuring that both patients and families receive holistic care that encompasses medical, emotional, and spiritual support.

Key Services Offered by Hospice Social Workers:

• Emotional Support and Counseling: Our social workers are compassionate listeners who provide emotional support to patients and their families. They help ease anxiety, offer coping strategies, and provide grief counseling, including pre-bereavement support.
• ​Financial and Legal Assistance: Navigating the financial aspects of in-home hospice care can be daunting. Our social workers assist with filling out and filing insurance claims, Medicare, and Medicaid paperwork. They also help prepare forms for advance directives, do-not-resuscitate (DNR) orders, and physician orders for life-sustaining treatment (POLST).
• Coordination of In-Home Hospice Care: Ensuring that every aspect of in-home hospice care runs smoothly is a priority. Our social workers coordinate various services, such as medical care referrals, homemaker services, and chaplain visits for spiritual care.
• ​Resource Connection and Advocacy: Hospice social workers connect families with community resources that offer additional support, such as Meals-on-Wheels, Life Alert®, and local counseling services. They advocate for patients' rights and ensure they receive the necessary care and benefits.
• Healthcare Decision Guidance: Making significant healthcare decisions can be overwhelming. Our social workers guide families through these choices, helping them understand the medical system and make informed decisions about their loved one's care.
