On March 18, 2025, the world recognizes World Social Work Day, a time to celebrate the compassionate professionals who advocate for individuals, families, and communities. This year’s theme, set by the International Federation of Social Workers (IFSW), highlights global efforts to promote human rights, social justice, and overall well-being.
At Oriol Health Care, we proudly recognize our skilled nursing social workers, who play a vital role in supporting residents and their families at Holden Rehabilitation & Skilled Nursing Center and Oakdale Rehabilitation & Skilled Nursing Center. Their dedication ensures that our residents receive compassionate care and personalized support every step of the way.
The Role of Skilled Nursing Social Workers
Social workers in skilled nursing and rehabilitation centers serve as advocates, care coordinators, and emotional support providers. They help families navigate healthcare options, facilitate transitions, and ensure residents receive the resources they need for a comfortable and fulfilling stay.
At Oriol Health Care, our Social Services team goes above and beyond daily—listening, problem-solving, and providing reassurance. Whether assisting with care planning, coordinating discharge services, or offering emotional support, they embody our commitment to “Our Family Taking Care of Yours.”
