Geriatric Social Work Assessment Consent Form

Streamline Geriatric Social Work Assessments with a Comprehensive Digital Form

Geriatric social workers, healthcare facilities, and senior care providers need a thorough, compassionate way to conduct initial assessments while ensuring proper consent and compliance. This Geriatric Social Work Assessment Consent Form provides a complete framework for evaluating older adults' social, emotional, and medical needs while screening for isolation, abuse, and future care preferences.

Designed for Senior Care Professionals

Whether you're a hospital social worker, geriatric care manager, community health center, or senior services agency, this template helps you gather critical information efficiently while maintaining the dignity and autonomy of older adults. The form covers consent for services, HIPAA authorization, social isolation screening, elder abuse evaluation, community resource needs, and advance care planning discussions—all in one organized assessment.

Comprehensive Assessment in One Form

Instead of juggling multiple intake forms and screening tools, this template combines essential geriatric assessment components into a single, easy-to-complete form. You'll capture demographic information, medical background, living situation details, social support networks, safety concerns, functional abilities, and care planning preferences while ensuring proper consent and authorization for information sharing.

The form includes validated screening questions for social isolation and elder abuse indicators, helping identify at-risk seniors who may need immediate intervention or additional support services. By documenting these assessments digitally, you create a clear record that can be easily shared with care teams (with proper authorization) and referenced for ongoing case management.
