Social Services and Case Management
When illness or injury strikes, you’re left with all kinds of questions
and decisions to make. Getting the best medical care is priority one,
but what happens when you go home? Will you need extra medical care?
Will you be able to care for your home, children or pets? Who will
drive you to your doctor’s office? These are just a few of the worries
that can hinder the progress of a healthy recovery. Memorial Hospital
is here to support you by linking you to the community resources and
programs you need to get back on your feet.
Our Social Services and Case Management team partners with your
healthcare providers to carefully plan what services you might need
both during your stay and after you are discharged from the hospital.
We begin this planning when you are admitted. Our case managers contact
your insurance company for benefit information and pre-certification
for services needed during and beyond your hospital stay. Our staff is
involved in your care and discharge planning, helping connect you with
the resources you need when you go home. We can assist you with:
- Assisted living or extended care facilities
- Home health care agencies
- IV/TPN services
- Medical equipment providers
- Support groups
- Rehabilitation programs
- Hospice services
- Cancer treatment
- Social security
- Emergency response programs
- Counseling services
- Transportation
- Assistance for crime victims
- Advanced directives
Our Social Services and Case Management teams will get you the help you
need to make a healthy, worry-free recovery. All you have to do is get
better.
