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.

We were blessed to have our caregiver for almost every Sunday for the last two years. We had complete trust in her and she constantly demonstrated her compassion and expertise in caregiving. We ended up moving my mother to a board & care and no longer required her services. Our caregiver will always be a part of our family and lives. Whoever gets her next is one lucky person and family.
