We supply case coordination by social workers who strictly adhere to the National Association of Social Workers Code of Ethics. Their mission is to enhance the well-being of seniors and help them meet their basic human needs. While clients may be referred to case coordination for a variety of reasons, our social workers always focus on the client's self-determination, empowerment and dignity.
