Let Our Specially Trained Social Workers Relieve Your Worries Anyone faced with the prospect of placing a loved one
in assisted living, hospital, or nursing home is confronted with a
myriad of issues. Not the least of which may be feelings of guilt
or inadequacy for having to rely on others to provide care.
Combine these feelings with the complexities of coordinating financial
arrangements, medical assessments, responsible party duties, and the
paperwork that legally must be created - and the whole experience can be
overwhelming. This is where Family Health West can be of great service. Our trained and experienced Social Services team is effective in guiding families through the process step-by-step. We will take the time and make contacts where possible to ease the burden for your family.

We offer on-going support and comprehensive care management, including the consideration of financial issues and discharge planning. All patients / residents are assigned a Social Worker who acts as a resource person, advocate and counselor. A Psychologist is also available for in-depth and on-going counseling. Our Compassionate Social Workers assist the Resident and Family in adjusting to their admission and / or illness.

We are here for individual and family discussions, whether it is to assist in understanding the disease process, advanced directives, or assisting in the appropriate placement process where your loved one can live Safely at their Highest Level of Functioning and enjoy Quality of Life.
