Social Services

At Lane, we have a team of licensed medical social workers, clinicians and case managers who specialize in working with patients and their families. Whatever the diagnosis, we work closely with patients throughout their hospital stay to provide support and to ensure a smooth, safe transition to their living environment.

We provide assistance with psychological and social assessments, counseling and coordination of referrals for post-discharge follow-up, nursing home placement, home care nursing, delivery of home medical equipment and end of life care. Services may be requested by any patient, family member or member of Lane's healthcare team. We give prompt, courteous attention to all inquiries, and we encourage patients and their families to participate in all decisions regarding their discharge planning.

For more information or assistance, please call (225) 658-4260 or (225) 658-4261.
