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.
