Social Worker
The Memory Care Social Worker and Activities Coordinator is a unique role, which involves performing the typical duties of a social worker in a skilled nursing facility along with directing and facilitating the activity program on the unit. This unit is smaller than most typical skilled nursing facility units and rather than have a different part-time employee in each role, we find that the ability to engage the residents in activities provides an excellent foundation for the relationship-building, conducting of assessments and creating of interventions that a social worker is responsible for.
