Social services are an important part of the healthcare system, providing assistance and resources to patients and their families. These services can help those in need access community resources, such as housing, food, or transportation. They can also provide emotional support and advocacy when navigating the healthcare system.
Anyone who is facing difficulties accessing healthcare or other resources can benefit from social services. This includes people who lack the financial means to pay for medical care or those who are dealing with mental health issues that make it difficult to access the necessary resources on their own.
You can typically access social services through your local hospital or healthcare facility’s social work department. If you have insurance benefits under Medicaid or Medicare you may be eligible for additional services like home health aides or personal care assistants who can assist you with activities of daily living (such as bathing, dressing, and meal preparation).
