Angela P. Los Angeles Jan 19, 2024On behalf of my family, we would like to thank you all for your hard work and dedication, putting your amazing skills to work in handling end-of-life care for our dearly loved father, Curtis Holmes. Our father passed away Tuesday morning, 10/3/23, peacefully in our home. All I could think was how grateful my family and I are to have all of you and your team with us until the end. The care you all provided from start to finish was priceless and paramount. It was exactly the expedient change we needed within that crucial period of time. We can’t thank you enough. THANK YOU TO OUR NURSING STAFF, SOCIAL WORKER, CHAPLIAN, EQUIPMENT DELIVERY STAFF AND COORDINATORS.
Donna R. Los Angeles Jan 17, 2024I was very pleased with the care my husband received even though we only had hospice care for 2.5 days. At least he passed at home, that was his biggest wish.
I’ll Soon be Having Surgery, and I Have A Lot on my Mind
The thought of having surgery is sometimes scary and often brings about many questions concerning the benefits and risks of the procedure. It’s normal to feel anxious, and addressing your uncertainties is an important part of the process. With the help of your doctors and nurses and careful consideration about what professional home health and homecare services you might need during recovery, it’s easier to focus on preparing your mind and body and commit to doing what you can to ensure a full and successful procedure and recovery.
Having conversations with your primary doctor is an important part of this process. Asking questions about what you can expect during recovery makes it easier to contact the in home services agency of your choice and begin important conversations about discharge planning and your time at home. Salus Home Health case managers will work closely with you and your primary doctor to ensure that your return home is as seamless as possible and nursing care, therapeutic services or support with personal care, transportation and meal preparation are made available without delay.
