SOCIAL WORK IN REHABILITATION AND NURSING CARE
In1905 social work opened its work field with new disciplines such as health care.
Rehabilitation as one of the services in favor of health care has also had a major increase in the population it can help, beginning at people with physical, cognitive and developmental problems, and with addiction or substance use issues; to more specialized care to help patients with mental illness.
This area of social work has several improvements to make, ranging from:
the cost of some services and the care provided by some employees.
the location of some of these centers, and this, combined with the limited access to transportation for populations located on the outskirts of cities.
