The Social Service department at Life Care Center of Hilo is celebrating “March is Social Work Month” along with the nation. Social Workers dedicate their lives to being advocates, educators, counselors, coaches and much more to those in need. They work in hospitals, nursing facilities, schools, mental health, judicial, children, family, geriatrics and community.
This year, in celebration of Social Work month, the social service workers are offering Memory Checks on Wednesday, March 7.
Many people in the general population become concerned over forgetfulness symptoms and quickly become anxious or depressed. This leads to social withdrawal, poor eating and sleeping habits, and generally decreased activity.
If a medical condition started this onslaught, then the medical condition can continue to cause deterioration in the body and forgetfulness increases.
The memory check is free and confidential.
Call the social service department at Life Care Center of Hilo to schedule a memory check. The screen takes about 15-20 minutes. Participants must sign permission for the results to be sent to their personal physician, as the social service staff will not interpret the results of the screen.
