Vivian J. Miller et al.

Summary: The role of social workers in nursing homes is becoming increasingly important as the population in need of nursing home care grows and becomes more diverse. Research should focus on the qualifications, responsibilities, and policy practices of social workers in this setting.

About a Third of Nursing Home Social Services Directors Have Earned a Social Work Degree and License

Mercedes Bern-Klug et al.

Summary: NH residents have high psychosocial needs, and social workers play a crucial role in meeting them. However, federal regulations only require NHs with 120+ beds to hire social services staff, and many social services directors in NHs lack social work education. Despite this, most NHs do employ social services staff, but only 37% have a degreed and licensed social worker leading the social services department.
