How do social workers support our families with Huntington’s Disease care? As Huntington’s Disease (HD) progresses from early to advanced stages, social workers adapt their role to meet changing needs. They help families: - Coordinate Care Across Specialties: Social workers ensure communication flows across medical teams and care plans get updated alongside symptom changes. - Navigate Resources: They connect families to home health programs, insurance and Medicaid support, caregiver services, and skilled nursing options like those offered by ArchCare in Manhattan and Rhinebeck. - Facilitate Emotional and Mental Health Support: Social workers check in on caregiver well-being, guide children through difficult conversations, and refer families to counseling services. Social workers are a vital part of the care team at ArchCare. They sit beside families during intake meetings, check in during health changes, and help make sense of next steps. We are so grateful for our team of social workers that help our HD residents and families navigate their complex care!
