Our social workers are here to help you through illness, bereavement and the changes that you will be facing.
A social assessment assists to identify areas of need and possible solutions.
We are able to help with:
• Access to resources, social and community support networks
• Knowledge of your entitlements
• How to manage financially
• Housing including residential care placement
• Advocacy, e.g. with Work and Income
• Legal aspects, e.g. making a will and setting up powers of attorney
• Funeral planning
• Family meetings
• Exploring options for immediate needs and long term planning, e.g. advance care planning
