An in-home geriatric assessment by a social worker can be incredibly valuable for both the older adult living at home and their family. It provides a comprehensive evaluation of the older adult’s physical, emotional, social, and environmental needs, helping to identify areas where they might need support, care, or intervention

It helps the older adult remain independent and safe while ensuring they have access to the care and resources they require. For the family, it offers support, guidance, and tools to effectively manage the caregiving journey. This holistic approach ensures that both the older adult and their family feel supported, prepared, and empowered in the face of aging-related challenges.
