Salus Spiritual Support During Hospice Care

Spirituality is a connection with the human spirit and soul. The word is interpreted in different ways by different people and often develops and expands over time. In hospice care, spiritual support is about helping patients to connect or reconnect with their spiritual side. For some, that means exploring their beliefs regarding an organized religion. For others, it might mean self-contemplation, journaling or otherwise exploring their inner feelings and ideals. Responses to spiritual exploration can vary from sadness to isolation or even becoming extremely hyper and needing constant attention. Salus Hospice recognizes the importance of nurturing an individual’s spiritual side especially during the end stages of life, and we provide a variety of services that can help.

Nurturing your spiritual self is important regardless of your religious beliefs. Opportunities for contemplation and conversation with a chaplain helps many patients to regain a sense of purpose, reconnect with loved ones and better manage uncomfortable emotional or physical symptoms.

Salus’ spiritual support is offered in a sensitive way and without judgement to make the experience comfortable and enjoyable for the patient.  While we never force any patient to accept spiritual support, it remains available throughout the hospice care experience to help patients address questions, concerns or needs.

My Father’s Home Health RN named Leiko is a treasure to our family. From the 1st visit, she had been proactive, experienced, compassionate, kind and patient. She has brought our family, and especially my father, such comfort and support. We would not have been able to handle this difficult journey without her. We are so blessed and grateful to have her in our lives. The physical therapist is also so important to us. He has gently motivated my dad in his exercises and has done so much to help him maintain his mobility, strength, and some continued independence. Thank you all.
