Pomoc socjalna na rzecz osób przewlekle chorych i ich rodzin

The system of social assistance and social support within care of a seriously ill person being at home is to coordinate medical-nursing care and social and living care. An ill person who is hospitalised, not prepared for living with an illness, is discharged from hospital and goes home where he is cared for by his family unaware of difficulties and dangers related to taking care. A social worker can be of support in such a situation. This person coordinates all the activities connected with a patient, his family and his social and local environment.
