If you require care after you are ready to leave the hospital, the physician, case manager or nursing staff will request that you be seen by a social worker. The social worker will assist you and your family members should you require out-of-home post-hospital care, including placement in skilled nursing facilities, acute rehab hospitals, and long-term care nursing homes.
