Getting worried about a loved one’s discharge process and where to find help in providing continuous care? Help improve your loved one’s condition after getting discharged through Medical Social Services.

Providing Home Health Care in Des Plaines, Illinois, we see to it that our clients are informed of services that aid in the recovery process of their loved ones. Our Medical Social Workers can assist you by providing the following services:

1. Discharge Planning

   Discharges are not simply done out of a whim, but it is intricately discussed and considered. When decided that your loved one is ready to be discharged, planning your loved one’s after-care is elaborated. Discharge planning helps families look for resources they can tap on to help a loved one’s continuous recovery. This makes it easier to plan home care services that your loved one might need with lesser stress.

2. Counseling

   When faced with a diagnosis that may be fatal, we get overwhelmed and think up of ways on how to feel better—but we can’t seem to feel fine on our own. Counseling can be performed in different areas and issues of our life. It won’t automatically take away our problems, but it helps us in understanding and in dealing with our problems. We are taught of ways and we are given interventions that help us become resilient amidst what we’re going through.

   It may be difficult to believe and continue to hope when you’re given a diagnosis but staying optimistic actually helps strengthen our immune system. Counseling can help us improve our optimism and help us fight the diagnosis we’ve been given.

3. Case Management

   Counseling and discharge planning are part of the overall case management service provided by a Medical Social Worker. Case management assesses the personal needs of each client to develop personalized care plans. This encompasses overall needs of a client that meet client standards in terms of quality and at the same time cost-effectivity. Coordination of the different resources are also being handled and facilitation of the overall developed plan for your loved one is made easier through case management.
