Social Workers to the Rescue
According to the U.S. Census Bureau, the number of Americans aged 65 and older will double to over 70 million by 2030.
The National Association of Social Workers (NASW) reports that this dramatic increase in older Americans will also increase the demand for age related services, programs, and policies.
Registered social workers can help with a host of issues: finding appropriate housing, finding healthcare resources, etc.
The NASW website provides visitors with a tool to search for social workers in their area who specialize in the unique “issues” that they and/or their loved ones are currently facing.
Note: We must stress that we and the NASW do not endorse any of the social workers in the data base. It is solely a tool for you to begin to determine who offers services in your area.
