Social Worker's Role in Client Care
GSNY social workers play a big role in client care. Their primary role is to help clients and their families understand an illness, come to terms with the emotions of a diagnosis, and provide counseling on the decisions. Social workers can be a family’s biggest ally, problem solver and an invaluable resource.
Our goal is to improve or maintain the emotional, physical, functional and social health status of the client.
All GSNY social workers function in accordance with GSNY Home Care code of conduct and the Standards for the Practice of Social Workers, including its accountability procedures.
