Salus’ palliative care team provides information and guidance to help you feel confident in the choices you make regarding advanced care planning. This key pillar to our palliative care program provides support to both the patient and family members so that you can better prepare for the unexpected and ensure your wishes are understood and respected.
Advanced care planning is a gift for your loved ones as much as it’s an important experience for you. Helping them to better understand your wishes and goals reduces stress, anxiety and uncertainty. It also empowers them to help you maintain control over your treatments in a dignified and respectful way.

Salus Palliative Care social workers are here to help you clearly communicate with your loved ones. They’ll coach you through this process, help you to answer important questions for yourself before having conversations with others and support you in staying true to your wishes. Social workers can also mediate during conversations and ensure that everyone clearly understands the information you present.
You are never required to have specific documents to take advantage of palliative care services. However, there are important reasons why we highly recommend these documents. They hold a lot of value in helping you communicate your wishes. We are happy to explain the importance of these documents and help you access community resources that can help with preparing them.
These decisions are yours to make. They are deeply personal and based on your values and beliefs. Our team is here to discuss your options and help you understand your choices, but your choices are final, and we will always respect them.
