Social Services

Social Work Services are provided at the Vineland Community Nursing Service office assisting patients and family members to adjust to their respective illnesses and provide counseling for individual and or family concerns. Services may also link individuals, with community resources and facilitate placement into extended care or assisted living facilities, or initiate referrals to support groups or to mental health services.

One of the primary roles of the Social Worker at VCNS is to provide direct care to individuals/families for "social or emotional problems that are or are expected to be an impediment to the effective treatment of the patient's medical condition or his or her rate of recovery."

Some of the areas requiring Social Work intervention for some of our home care patients at VCNS are as follows: financial resources to maintain compliance with medical regimen (medications), assistance with activities of daily living after discharge (bathing, dressing, meal preparation), transportation to/from medical appointments, assistance in the event of a bad fall (emergency response system), depression, and caregiver burnout.

Social Workers assist in referring individuals/family members to appropriate local community agencies that provide specific services, that are not provided by our agency.

In the event that you have questions pertaining to any of our services, please call the Vineland Community Nursing Services office at 856-794-4261 and ask to speak to Diane McDaniels, Licensed Social Worker.
