Definition

  • Gerontological social workers provide clinical services to older adults and their families, develop programs to serve older adults and reshape current programs where consumers are aging, administer health and long-term care organizations, and help develop health and social policies. Gerontological social workers provide these services in health and long-term care settings, including health care clinics, hospitals, extended care and rehabilitation units, assisted-living facilities, and nursing homes.
