As death feels closer, family members are faced with many tough decisions regarding end of life planning. Hospice professionals provide support as families talk through these decisions and get their questions answered. This compassionate support eases the emotional burden family members face and can help everyone to regain a sense of peace and empowerment throughout these difficult times.
After a loved one passes, families continue to benefit from emotional support as they work through the grieving process. Salus Hospice social workers remain available to provide important bereavement counseling services, offering comfort, opportunities to reminisce and a chance for healing. This can help a family to find their path forward and feel more at peace with the support they provided their loved one with in the final days.
John A. November 19, 2024After struggling with a few other caregiving companies, I was introduced to SALUS. We used SALUS for many months until my partner was transferred to a memory care facility.
I found SALUS to be very professional and prompt. The care of the caregivers was excellent, well trained and empathetic. The effectiveness was the excellent administration and organization of SALUS I never went without a caregiver, if one was off ill, another was immediately allocated to my partner.
There was always a care manager available to assist and they were very understanding of any concerns that I had.
The accounting was done excellently, and whenever I had a query, it was clearly explained to me.
I would always (and in fact I have already done) recommend SALUS as a first and only choice. Their mantra should be kindness and understanding right through to efficiency and professionalism.
Adeline G. San Diego November 1, 2024I filled out this survey for my 98 soon to be 99 year old mother. I am always present when the home health provider came and am very impressed with her. Thank you

Feeling scared is normal for many people facing a terminal illness. At Salus Homecare, our social workers are trained to help you to cope with these negative feelings so that they do not consume you in the final months, weeks and days of life. This can improve your quality of life and help you to feel more comfortable with the dying process.
Salus Homecare’s hospice is designed to provide support to every member of the family, and this includes young children. Our social workers, chaplains and other professionals can speak to children about their concerns, and referrals can be made to community resources if necessary.
Salus Homecare’s hospice does not require any client to participate in therapy, but many clients find that they benefit from it. If you choose not to speak with a social worker or another mental health professional, simply say so. If you change your mind at any point, the services will remain available to you
