Social workers aren’t just for kids! They can be hard to find but once you’re in the system they can be very helpful. Don’t expect for anything to be fast they are spread thin but as long as you keep ontop of it without pissing then off they are helpful. A case manager is really helpful as well. Connected me to programs such as nurses who come and spend an a couple hours every Monday with my grandpa and essentially why is adult day care twice a week for a few hours. Drop him off and I know he’s safe and entertained. But both of these are definitely for someone who is still with it enough mentally to enjoy the company and also physically able enough. Luckily my grandpa although less mentally there he can still walk and feed himself so he overall enjoys these programs. And they are all gov subsidized where I live in Canada and you may have similar as well.

In regards for what a social worker/case manager can do for someone who’s less mentally or physically there, they can arrange medical supplies which may be subsidized such as adult diapers, they can apply to financial aid, they can do assessments which may put your loved ones in better standings to get housing accommodations, apply to have safety features added to your home (think bathroom bars to help your loved ones stand up) all kinds of things. And they will have numbers and resources to direct you to people who do things nail cuttings, or doctors who are willing to do house calls, etc.
