The Department of Social Work is staffed by experienced professional social workers. Each unit has an assigned social worker and a social work supervisor to ensure that all of our residents' psycho-social needs are met.

​

For short-term rehabilitation residents, our social workers will meet with the resident and their family upon admission to begin discussing the services that will be required for a safe discharge. Prior to discharge a plan of care is put in place to provide for a smooth transition back to the community.

​

Our long term residents and their family members receive ongoing social work services throughout their stay. Kings Harbor social workers also provide referrals to Palliative and End-of-Life Hospice Care when needed.

​

A social worker is available six days a week, with evening hour appointments upon request. Special translation services are available, facilitating communication and enhancing a sense of comfort and security. The Family Council provides additional support to the family members of our residents.
