Department of Social Services

The Department of Social Services consists of the Director, three full-time social workers, one full-time discharge planner and two full-time substance abuse counselors. The Social Service staff provides a variety of services to the residents of Broadway House including; psycho-social assessment, family intervention, substance abuse counseling, individual and group counseling and support, entitlement assistance (social security, Medicaid, etc.), financial assistance, behavior management, staff education regarding resident needs and rights, assistance with obtaining clothing and shoes, assistance with end-of-life decision making, future planning, discharge planning, voter registration, substance abuse services and any other non-medical need a resident has. The primary goal of the social service team is to advocate for the residents and their rights. The social workers serve as mediators between the residents and staff, their families, government agencies and other service providers. Social workers speak for residents who cannot or will not speak for themselves. We are proud to provide these services to the residents of Broadway House and seek to contribute to an atmosphere that promotes personal dignity and growth.
