St. Louis Social Services FAQs

What are senior social service programs?

Senior social service programs help older adults navigate healthcare, housing, benefits, and emotional support needs as they age. They often include care coordination, counseling, resource referrals, and advocacy to reduce stress and improve quality of life.

What is the most requested senior support service?

The most requested senior support services are care coordination, help accessing benefits, and assistance with healthcare and housing decisions. Many seniors also rely on social workers to manage transitions after hospital stays or major life changes.

Does Medicare cover social workers for seniors?

Medicare may cover social work services when they are part of a medically necessary treatment plan, such as during home health care, hospice, or hospital discharge planning. It does not cover ongoing social services that are not tied to medical care.

How does an elderly person get a social worker?

An elderly person can get a social worker through a hospital, senior living community, nonprofit organization, or local social services agency. Many families start by contacting a senior services provider that offers care coordination and support planning.

A generous person will prosper; whoever refreshes others will be refreshed.
–Proverbs 11:25
