A novel approach for delivering high quality palliative care for cancer patients discharging to a skilled nursing facility (SNF) is critically needed. This investigator plans to test a palliative care social work led intervention called ALIGN (Assessing and Listening to Individual Goals and Needs) that aims to define patient and caregiver goals, facilitate communication between patients and their care teams, and develop a patient-centered plan that accompanies the patient across all future health system transitions. The central hypothesis is that implementation of ALIGN is feasible and acceptable for cancer patients and their caregivers and SNF staff.
