CenterWell Home Health specializes in personalized, comprehensive home care for patients managing chronic conditions or recovering from injury, illness, surgery, or hospitalization. As part of CenterWell, a leading healthcare services business within Humana, our mission is to create integrated experiences that put patients at the center of everything we do. Our care teams—comprising nurses, therapists, aides, and medical social workers—work collaboratively to help patients rehabilitate, recover, and regain their independence so they can live healthier, happier lives.
Reporting to the Clinical Manager, the Medical Social Worker is a vital member of the interdisciplinary care team dedicated to addressing the emotional and social needs of home health patients. This role goes beyond clinical treatment to evaluate and develop personalized plans of care that support a patient's overall well-being. You will function as a resource for the team, identifying and resolving social barriers that may impede recovery, while providing direction and supervision to Social Worker Assistants.
In this position, you will assess the patient's social and emotional state in relation to their illness, evaluate their financial resources and community support systems, and coordinate necessary actions to secure resources such as housing, legal aid, or financial assistance. Your day-to-day involves communicating closely with patients, families, and associates to ensure a shared understanding of the treatment process and coping strategies. You will also maintain rigorous documentation and participate in care coordination activities to ensure compliance with company policies, healthcare standards, and governmental regulations.
