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.
Earl E. May 22, 2020My situation is different from most of your customers, I was wanting to bring my husband home from a nursing home 5 days early. The intake person took care of everything. She kept on top of getting his medical needs from the nursing home and coordinating with me what I needed to do. The nurse you sent to help me was fantastic, she went beyond her duties. She called his doctors with questions and stayed on top of my husbands needs. The primary caregiver you sent was great, very experienced and helpful. He was very enthusiastic and knew what was best for my husband.
This was the second time I’ve used your company and I’m pleased with how I was treated and what you did for me.
Maurice F. May 12, 2020Both of our nurses went above and beyond, always just a text away if we had any questions or concerns, and very attentive with our day to day progress. The results were a great success, building confidence and quality of life. Salus was a great service and I recommend them to anyone.

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.
