PARTNER SPOTLIGHT:
For many years, CareOne has partnered with NASW-NJ to sponsor educational events for community-based social workers. It is an extremely valuable partnership that honors CareOne’s view of social workers as the “glue” between our patients and the various home and community-based agencies that provide support services for New Jersey seniors. CareOne has been providing healthcare services to seniors since 1999. With over 30 facilities in New Jersey (and growing) CareOne specializes in the transitions of care for those in need of subacute rehabilitation, homecare, hospice, assisted living, long term care, respite care and dementia care. CareOne social workers are always involved with the transitions of care. They assist with planning and implementing a comprehensive program including counseling and other services for residents and their families in each CareOne center. Social workers are able to identify, explain and create service plans for complex medical needs in a professional

and compassionate manner. This is a patientcentered model of care, where the needs and goals of the resident take precedence in medical decision-making, especially when transitioning to a different level of care. CareOne is committed to caring for the whole person including their unique physical, social and mental health needs. All CareOne social workers are either licensed or certified. They are able to assess the resident upon admission, conduct family meetings, and help to develop the resident’s plan of care. A key role of the CareOne social worker is to identify specific problems, goals and approaches in order to remove barriers. In this role, the social worker acts as a liaison between the resident/family and outside agencies, providing supports and services necessary for a safe transition back to the community or other
setting. CareOne social workers partner with many home and community-based agencies to ensure that residents will be able to thrive at next level of care setting. Social workers also play an integral role in earning and maintaining trust. CareOne’s culture accentuates customer service, striving to provide the highest quality of service in a caring and compassionate atmosphere. CareOne social workers advance this culture on a daily basis and our centers could not be successful without their talent, professionalism and commitment.
