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.
Viola G. January 27, 2020The care needed occurred practically overnight but Salus was able to provide 24/7 staffing on the day that I contacted them. Well done.
The case manager was especially friendly, professional and helpful.
Ortiz M. January 27, 2020Every person from your intake department all the way to the clinical team were very professional. At my first visit the nurse was very punctual and right on time extremely knowledgeable, and was able to teach my husband and my son how to do the IV antibiotics. The nurses that followed came one time when it was time to do my lab draws however a patient earlier ended up needing to use the supplies that she needed. So we pushed that visit to the following day and that is when another nurse took over for the rest of the visit. She was very knowledgeable and very punctual and on time. She was very confident and it showed. I absolutely will refer others to Salus.

Salus Palliative Care social workers are here to help you clearly communicate with your loved ones.

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.
