Social Services / Discharge Planning

Our Social Service staff provides ongoing support and listening ears to assist our residents in the initial adjustment to living at the Crawford County Care Center and then the ongoing concerns and needs that arise in the life of our residents. 

The social service assistants assist with discharge planning, making the arrangements for home health care services and medical equipment needed at home, and also making referrals to Hospice. 

Social services also monitor the overall emotional needs of our residents and makes referral to a Professional Counselor who visits weekly or to a Psychiatrist for maintaining and adjusting medications as needed.
