Social Services
Report
The role of the Social Worker is to provide emotional support and counseling to residents and their families throughout their stay at the facility. Assisting residents and families to cope with the limitations an illness can place on one's lifestyles is central to the social workers' role. This is done through counseling and education.
Activities
Report
The Activity Department provides an ongoing program to meet individual needs and interests with opportunities for social, emotional, spiritual, therapeutic and recreational growth during short-term and long-term stays at the facility. The words "thank you" are not enough to say how much we appreciate what the staff has done for my husband Benny and me.
