Welcome to the Capitol Care Center Social Services Department! Here you’ll be able to find information on most of the services available to you while you or your loved one is at Capitol Care Center. From the moment you enter through our doors, our social services department will follow your progress and check in with you along the way. The department’s goal is to ensure that you are keeping on track with your planned care so that you are able to discharge back home as quickly and healthy as possible or meet your other health care goals.

From time to time, your needs won’t always be health based. In cases such as these, the social services department is typically the department that helps to arrange those services or meet those needs. Social Services is definitely the department where the “make it happen” people work within Capitol Care Center.

Home Is Where Your Story Starts

At Capitol Care Center, our goal is to watch every resident achieve the most optimum health possible. If the goal is to rehab to home, part of that process is to begin planning for each resident’s discharge on the same day they arrive. Every resident will receive an initial assessment to gauge cognition, behavior and mood, social history and medical needs. From there, our Social Services team conducts weekly progress evaluations with our Therapy and Nursing departments in tandem with your physician to coordinate the care you receive not only while you are our guest, but while you are at home as well, ensuring your continued health.

Care That Goes Beyond Our Doors

If your long term goal is to go home you can rest assured that when that time comes, the care that we provide does not end. Our social services team works with numerous home health agencies to arrange care if needed, and also provides assistance in arranging the following services:

  • Arrange Home Nursing
  • Arrange Durable Equipment Needs
  • Arrange PT/OT/Speech Therapy
  • Arrange Life Line Services
  • Arrange Home Making Services
    • Helping Hands
    • Meals on Wheels
    • Red Cross

Prior to each resident’s discharge to their home, Social Services can arrange to have a Capitol Care therapist conduct a Home Evaluation. This service ensures that the therapist most familiar with your needs conducts a thorough evaluation of your home to identify issues that may need to be addressed.

…And That’s Not All

Once you enter through the doors of Capitol Care Center, a variety of other services are accessible to all of our residents in the case that you might need them. We realize that during your stay you may need care in other areas that could not have been anticipated. That’s why the following services are provided in-house to you when and if you need them:

  • Eye Doctor
  • Dentist
  • Podiatrist
  • Group Therapy
  • Grievance Counseling
  • No Charge Transport To All Medical Appointments

In the case that you need services that we may not be able to provide in-house, our social services team will arrange those services by referral to the facility of your choice for that particular need. Simply let us know. We’re here for you!
