Abstract
ABSTRACT This report address two key questions: what are common core functions of nursing home social services departments and what are top training needs. Cross-sectional survey data collected in 2019 from a nationally representative sample of 924 social services directors reveal 33 responsibilities that at least two-thirds of respondents reported their department was usually or always involved in. We document strong and consistent interest in more training related to dementia and in common mental health and psychosocial challenges residents face. Findings reveal that training specific to social services is difficult to find. Online training opportunities were endorsed and 96% felt training targeted to new social services directors would be useful.
