//www.brightmoorhospice.com/ Hospice Social Worker The social worker is an essential part of the hospice team. Why Hospice social work? When a person is facing a serious illness, it affects that person and their loved ones in many ways. While social workers can help find services or items to meet concrete needs, that is not the primary or only role of the hospice social worker. Often a patient’s illness triggers challenges with finances, insurance, needs for community services, funeral planning or legal issues. Other less tangible issues patients and families struggle with relate to caregiver stress, juggling multiple roles, or just needing a safe third party to talk to. Social workers frequently provide support and counseling for patients and for caregivers.
