Christiane S. Riverside January 16, 2026As a niece who lives in the Mid-West/ Milwaukee, I could not be directly involved in my Aunt’s end of life care. I flew out to California in October 2025 and arranged 24 hour home care for her when she was ready to be released from the hospital. Because of her age (98), suffering pain and being weakened through 4 weeks of hospital stay and rehab. Hospice care was recommended by her medical team. Salus was recommended by her Home care provider. Always the best care and was also on the hospital list of approved providers. After leaving California, I felt like my Aunt was in very good hands and back home where her friends and neighbors could easily visit.
William B. Riverside January 9, 2026Salus was very professional, caring and supporting of both my wife and me. I cannot imagine anyone else providing better care. Thank you Salus from the bottom of my heart.
