Social Work Area
The social worker is an essential figure within the Center. We inform the resident and their families of the support systems as well as the resources that exist according to their needs. We explain, always in the most assertive and objective way possible, the different options that exist, so that they can freely choose which path to take.
Families that encounter a member with brain damage need a new organization and supports that they did not need before. To give an adequate response to the range of needs that arise, it is essential to coordinate the professionals who work in the different contexts where the resident is located..
Within the multidisciplinary team, the ultimate goal of all actions undertaken is to improve the quality of life of residents and their families, attention to social demands and the promotion and development of people.
