Hospice’s physical support makes it easier to appropriately manage pain, discomfort, or symptoms that are often associated with a terminal illness. While this type of support is not curative, it enhances quality of life and empowers many patients to feel more independent for a longer period.

Physical support care standards are extraordinarily high. Salus Homecare’s hospice medical director and a registered nurse monitors this service to ensure your safety and comfort are always protected. Additionally, we maintain close communication with your physician to ensure your care plan is as effective as possible.

Thank 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.

The gentleman who came to my home was excellent. He was the PT and he was the best in all ways.
