We felt extremely lucky to have such caring, encouraging and stellar people assisting my mother.
Her nurse, was very thorough and attentive, her physical therapist was more amazing than we can mention… major encourager, listened to all mom’s concerns and wants, always going that extra mile to help my mom achieve her goals and make a personal connection all-the-while with safety always present. Her occupational therapist was very personable and targeted areas and we jointly felt would assist her in gaining the strength needed to get back home.
We thank mom’s Salus team from the bottom of our hearts, and will gladly recommend Salus to others!
