Home Health Social Worker

At Crest Home Health Inc., part of Rocky Mountain Care’s 20-year tradition of compassionate local care, you help patients and families navigate illness, loss, and recovery in their own homes. Your work turns complex needs into practical support so people stay safely at home, connected to community, and treated with dignity. This role directly reduces isolation and unnecessary hospitalizations for those we serve across Davis County.

Performance Objectives

  • Complete comprehensive psychosocial assessments for new and recertifying patients within 5 days of admission, identifying barriers to home safety and family coping.
  • Develop and implement individualized care plans that connect patients to community resources, resulting in documented reductions in caregiver stress and hospital readmissions.
  • Facilitate 8–12 family meetings or counseling sessions monthly to support end-of-life planning, grief, and care transitions while coordinating with nursing and therapy teams.
  • Secure and track community referrals (housing, benefits, meals, counseling) so 90% of identified needs receive follow-up within two weeks.
  • Document all interventions in the EMR the same day, ensuring plans stay current for interdisciplinary team reviews and regulatory compliance.
  • Educate patients and families on available supports so they can advocate for themselves after discharge from our services.

Environment & Resources

You report to the Clinical Director and work closely with a small, mission-driven interdisciplinary team of nurses, therapists, and aides. You receive a company vehicle stipend or mileage reimbursement, laptop/EMR access, and a modest discretionary fund for urgent patient needs. Most work occurs in patients’ homes across Woods Cross and surrounding communities, with weekly team huddles at the office.

Essential Qualifications

  • Master’s in Social Work (MSW) and current Utah LCSW or LMSW license (or ability to obtain within 90 days).
  • Proven ability to complete timely, accurate psychosocial assessments and care plans in a home-health or hospice setting.
  • Skill in coordinating community resources and documenting outcomes that improve patient/family stability.
  • Comfort conducting home visits independently while collaborating with clinical teammates.
  • Strong written communication for EMR notes that support billing, quality, and continuity of care.

Role Selling Points

  • Join a 20-year local provider known for genuine, relationship-based care rather than corporate volume.
  • Small team (under 10) means your voice shapes how we support patients and families every day.
  • Flexible scheduling around home visits with real impact on keeping people in the community they love.
  • Direct line of sight from your interventions to fewer crises and more peaceful home stays.

If you want your social-work skills to keep Utah families together at home, apply today. We review every application personally and move quickly for the right person.
