Lynn S. Los Angeles November 13, 2025Thank you to the RN at Salus for being patient, kind, and gentle with my husband and family. An enormous thank you to the CG who was hired through Salus as an auxiliary caregiver when nursing was not available to us. The CG was perfect – an answer to our prayers, and we couldn’t have done this without her.
Mary R. Los Angeles September 23, 2025The gentleman who came to my home was excellent. He was the PT and he was the best in all ways.
Discovering the Right Support for My Recovery
A complex medical event is often intimidating. It’s easy to focus solely on your hospital stay without giving too much thought to what happens after you’re discharged home. Yet, the way support is offered once you return home is critical for your safety and wellbeing, and it decreases your chances of being readmitted to the hospital. Patients and family caregivers play an important role in this process, but you may feel unprepared to fully manage the recovery period ahead on your own.
Patients who prefer the comforts and conveniences of familiar surroundings can safely recover at home with professional home health support. Salus Home Health case managers work with you, your family caregivers, nurses, therapists and your primary doctor to provide a seamless transition home by establishing a restorative plan of care that addresses complex medical needs and helps you regain your previous level of functioning. This results in superior outcomes while lessening the burdens place on your loved ones and improving your overall quality of life.
