Hospice’s physical support helps individuals to manage the pain, discomfort and symptoms often associated with an incurable health condition. While this type of support is never designed to provide a cure, it does allow many of our clients to maintain independence and improve their quality of life.
Physical support is always closely monitored by Salus Homecare’s hospice medical director and a registered nurse to ensure your safety and comfort. Additionally, we work closely with your personal physician and always provide timely updates about your condition and the care you are receiving at home.
