A Suncrest Social Worker will help patients and their families navigate planning for end-of-life care; understand their treatment plan and be vocal about their needs; manage the stresses of debilitating physical illnesses, including emotional, familial and financial; overcome crisis situations; and connect to other support services. Social Workers are advocates for patients and their families.  They know what their patient needs, and what resources are available within and outside of hospice settings to help them.

A Suncrest Social Worker is compassionate, sympathetic, patient, and calm under pressure. In addition, they are good listeners. Whether they’re listening to the family or the patient, they’ll hear pain, tragedy, fear, and uncertainty in their voices and it’s their job to help them come to terms with the situation.
