On-Staff Social Worker
Everyone needs some help once in a while, so at the Knickerbocker we have a licensed Social Worker, Carryeanne Smitley, on staff to assist our residents.
She is ready to help you with any situation that may need some additional assistance. Need help with the complex workings of insurance policies? We can help!
Additional support with counseling, service referrals, applications for Medicaid, Living Wills, handicapped parking, and other confusing paperwork is also just a part of what we can do to take the worry out of your day.
