Encompass primarily serves the elderly community and is essential in providing post-acute care in transitioning patients back to their home environment.  
Social Workers are part of the case management team at Encompass and focus on discharge planning which includes arranging services for patients and families including home health care, durable medical equipment and follow up appointments in order for patients to successfully discharge back to the community.  The Social Worker is a part of the patient’s interdisciplinary team and provides communication between the patients team as well as communication from the team to the patient and family.
