Key Responsibilities:
- Conduct home visits to clients within designated geographic areas.
- Assist the team in understanding the social and emotional aspects impacting our clients’ health.
- Perform clinical social evaluations and devise suitable interventions based on findings.
- Identify community resources to meet clients' and families' practical and environmental needs.
- Serve as an advocate to help clients and families navigate community systems.
- Engage in the development of comprehensive care plans alongside BAYADA's multidisciplinary team.
- Establish and maintain partnerships with public and private agencies for patient resources.
- Educate patients, families, or representatives on community resources that promote health, safety, and independence.
- Accurately document observations, interventions, and evaluations related to patient care using advanced technology.
