The Home Health Care Social Worker: a Conduit in the Care Continuum for Older Adults

LSU School of Social Work, 311 Huey P. Long Field House, Baton Rouge, LA 70803 tbdyeso{at}lsu.edu www.socialwork.lsu.edu/dyeson

Home health care is a pivotal service in the continuum of care for older adults. It often represents a fulcrum between restored functioning and institutionalization. The home health care social worker has a unique position in this continuum because she must constantly interface with other professionals throughout the continuum. This interface is perhaps more dynamic for social workers in home health care than in any other place in the care continuum.

Key Words: community-based services • rehabilitation • assisted living • nursing home • hospice
