Salus Emotional Support During Hospice Care

The final months, weeks and days of life are often a challenging time where difficult emotions come to the surface and even the strongest of relationships are strained. Feelings of fear, frustration, anger and grief are common, but finding ways to come to terms with these emotions can help patients find solace and peace. The Salus Hospice team offers support to give patients and their family members opportunities to talk through difficult emotions and discover their own coping mechanisms.

Emotional Hospice Support Provided:

Counseling from a medical social worker
Social workers assisting clients in networking with and accessing community resources
General companionship
Bereavement services for the family after the individual has passed

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.

May Salus case manager and her staff were extremely helpful. My mom was very ill and on hospice and I needed help caring for her. My case manager was sympathetic to my needs and had a caregiver at my house immediately. The caregivers were wonderful and treated my mom like she was their own mother. They were highly experienced, mature and reliable. They showed up and were very attentive. (I had a bad experience with another company’s staff when my dad was on hospice, just sitting on their phones, not paying attention). Please do your research when finding good home care. There are some companies that hire low quality people, who don’t care. Salus was definitely the top of the line when it came to home care.

I work at an assisted living home. I’ve been doing this work for a long time, seen a lot of hospice. Salus came in and got to know my resident and all of us. The communication with the nurses is amazing. Whenever I had a question or concern, I could call or text and know in minutes. My resident had something to look forward to weekly with the pampering of the shower aide not just a shower or bath, but nails and massage. I would recommend this company to everybody. Thank you so much for the great care. We look forward to working together again.

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
