Welcome back to National Social Worker Month.  This week we continue our discussion with social worker Katie Ortlip as the discussion turns to long term care placement.  At times a patient may need more care than what can be provided in a private home setting.  When that occurs, the social worker may need to provide help in finding a different living environment.  In this episode, Katie explains some of the reasons why a patient may need long term placement, and the options that are available.
