Tulare County Medical Social Services
Kaweah Delta Home Health’s medical social workers are an important
part of your care team. If you need any psychosocial support, a medical
social worker from our staff is available to begin the process of helping
you on your road to recovery.
The first step a social worker will take is to assess your needs and identify
any issues that might delay your recovery time. They will also meet with
you and your family to give you information on all of the resources and
support available to you in Tulare, Eastern Kings, and Southern Fresno
counties. Medical social workers also help patients with a variety of
other needs, including long range planning, advance directives, and general
care options.
