At Lynn
Care Center we are sensitive to a resident's need to feel
a sense of control over his or her living environment. Therefore,
we have designed one person to function as each resident's
advocate and social worker. The social worker is the liaison
between the resident, family and the interdisciplinary care
team.
The
Lynn Care Center Social Services Department attempts to
identify and modify any social, psychological, and/or environmental
factors which contribute to the health problems of our residents.
Shortly
after admission, the resident and/or family will meet with
social worker to obtain a social history. The history helps
to build a relationship and evaluate interests, needs, concerns
and, where appropriate, discharge plans. Social services
are available for all residents/patients and their families
to deal with any problems that occur and provide support
when needed.
