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

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

My physical therapy provider was a complete joy to work with and I felt complete trust with her advice and her care. She gave me good suggestions and also explained the meaning behind them. I looked forward to each of her visits. It was also clear to me that she communicated with others who are part of my care team, so I felt that everyone was in agreement about my care.

My occupational therapist was also terrific to work with. I only had two sessions with her, but I learned many good exercises with the goal of bringing back the strength in my hands. I highly recommend her too.

We are personally very pleased with Salus. You have been with us several times, as we have asked for you and will continue to do so if needed. We also will ask for same clinicians. They both are excellent at what they do.
