All residents of skilled nursing facilities, regardless of their duration of stay, can gain from the expertise professional Social Workers provide. At King Manor, our licensed geriatric Social Workers have more than two decades worth of combined experience in helping patients and their families secure all the community services and discharge planning support they are entitled to, which eases their transition into our facility, or back to home.

In addition to geriatric social work services, King Manor employs certified psychotherapists for the benefit of residents needing more intensive psychological counseling for issues such as depression, anxiety, phobias and other personal concerns. Our deficiency-free rated team of social workers and counselors deliver invaluable collaborative care to ensure the emotional well-being of all of our residents.
