Social Workers

Social Work Team

It can be helpful to talk about your needs with a Social Worker, as
they may be able to find practical ways of helping you as well as
offering emotional support. Our Social Workers help patients, families
and carers with a range of social and practical issues. Our social
work team are able to help either where a patient calls home, as an
inpatient or through our Day Service. Our Social Workers can help by:

  • supporting people at risk
  • supporting carers
  • responding to benefit enquiries and applying for grants
  • dealing with housing concerns
  • talking through home care and nursing home options
  • providing general advice on wills
  • liaising with other agencies, such as Social Services advocacy

Supporting carers

Many families and carers find that while taking care of a loved one is an important and rewarding time in their lives, it can also be very draining and distressing. If you are a carer, our social work team can be contacted whether you just need to talk, or need advice on accessing services.
