Introduction to Social Work in Dementia Care

The care of dementia patients is often long and complex. Families have to navigate changing interpersonal dynamics with their loved one, planning for the future, and increasing caregiver burnout. Social workers, much more so than doctors, are the professionals best equipped to help families navigate the long term care of persons with dementia. To help explain what social work is and the crucial role social workers play in dementia care, I sit down with three experienced social workers at the Ray Dolby Brain Health Center: Alyssa Ghiringhelli ASW, Rebecca Ngu ASW, and Jennice Wong, LCSW. We cover how to find a social worker, how social workers support families, and different models of social work care. A great episode for anyone looking for more support in their journey with dementia or in caring for a loved one with dementia.
