Amy Hane, owner of Long Term Liaisons, announced today that staff member Allison Brinkley recently attained national distinction after receiving her Certified Advanced Social Work Case Manager credentials. Brinkley pursued the certification to further expand her training, education and experience in working with seniors and their families needing assistance in long-term care.

“After gaining my master’s degree in social work from the University of South Carolina, I discovered that I loved working with the senior population,” said Brinkley who is also a member of the National Association of Social Workers and a Master Social Worker in South Carolina and Georgia. “All of my training has prepared me to meet the complex needs of the families who have turned to LTL to guide them through long term care planning.”  

Brinkley’s experience includes behavioral health therapy, healthcare sales and marketing and home health care management in both South Carolina and Georgia.

In addition to her work with LTL, Brinkley is a strong contributor to bettering her community. She currently serves as chair of the Aiken Young Professionals Community Service Committee and is a member of the Marketing Committee for the Aiken Downtown Development Association. She is also a graduate of Leadership Aiken County, Class of 2013-2014. 

Hane explained that Certified ASWCMs follow the core values outlined in the NASW Code of Ethics, the NASW Standards for Social Work Case Management and the NASW Standards for Continuing Professional Education.

”Our mission at Long Term Liaisons is to be a supportive guide on the path of long term care planning. Allison’s certification adds to the knowledge we offer every family faced with eldercare decisions,” said Hane. “We strive to help each client remain healthy, happy and safe while living as independently as possible.”
