Hospice’s physical support helps individuals to manage the pain, discomfort and symptoms often associated with terminal illnesses. 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 the care you are receiving at home.

The physical therapist was exceptional in her care, compassion and personal attention. I will recommend to friends and family.

My family and I hope this letter finds you all well and safe. The reason why we’re taking the time to write to you is to thank you for the hard work, compassion, and dedication, especially in these troubling times, that you all have shown to the community. We all know that an end of life period needs all the emotional, spiritual, and physical help from friends and family, and that is what your team does. But we also know that the families aren’t the only ones that need this support, you also need it, and that is why we want to share the words written in Proverbs 19:17 where it says: “The one showing favor to the lowly is lending to Jehovah, and He will repay him for what he does.” God will definitely repay you all for the generous help you give to others. May these words fill you with encouragement and strength to keep going. Thank you again for everything.
