Social Work and Care Coordination Services

When your child is admitted to one of Blythedale’s programs, your family is assigned a social worker who will work closely with you throughout your stay at Blythedale. We will help you cope with the emotional stress of the next phase of your child’s recovery while adjusting to a new care team. Your social worker collaborates closely with your child’s care team to ensure that you are well-informed each step of the way from admission to discharge.

Beginning at the time of admission, your social worker will work with a nurse care manager to help you plan for discharge.  Following a thorough assessment of your child’s needs and resources in the community, we will guide you in the development of a comprehensive discharge plan.  By working with your insurance plan, we will help you to determine which providers may be in your network and arrange for any necessary referrals, evaluations or assessments prior to your child’s discharge home.  

Your social worker can also assist you with many other issues that impact your child or your family.  If you have a question or a concern and are not sure how to address it, please stop by our department on the first floor and we will be happy to help you.
