Salus Physical Support During Hospice Care

After a patient receives a life-limiting diagnosis, their focus sometimes shifts from taking a curative approach to managing symptoms and pain. This type of support improves quality of life and helps patients to find greater enjoyment in the time they have left.

Physical Hospice Support Provided:

  • Pain Management

  • Assistance with activities of daily living

Hospice’s physical support is an important component in the hospice care approach to better managing a terminal illness. While this type of support is never designed to provide a cure, it does allow many of our clients to maintain independence and find peace as they spend time with family and make important end of life decisions.

Physical support is always closely monitored by Salus Homecare’s hospice medical director and a registered nurse as your safety and comfort are our top priority. Additionally, we work closely with your personal physician and always provide timely updates about improvements, setbacks and the care you are receiving at home.

The wound care nurses from Salus Home Health are the best! Thank you!

From the beginning, Salus has been crucial and amazing in the home health care of my 91-year old mom, who suffered a stroke on 12/1. Salus has been different from any and all other business in how they are organized, compassionate and exemplary in home health care. Salus Is the Gold Standard in how they provide families and patients that need home health care. We will shout to the sky with A+ accolades about Salus and their outstanding and excellent care. Our RN’s, MSW, CHHA, PT’s and OT’s were beautiful and super professional and are like friends to us.
