Salus Advanced Care Planning in Palliative Care

Advanced care planning consists of making important decisions about health and finances to prepare for a time when you might not be able to express your choices. This dynamic process is ongoing and reflective of your goals and values. Many of the choices made after receiving a serious medical diagnosis are difficult, but Salus is here to help.

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.

After struggling with a few other caregiving companies, I was introduced to SALUS. We used SALUS for many months until my partner was transferred to a memory care facility.

I found SALUS to be very professional and prompt. The care of the caregivers was excellent, well trained and empathetic. The effectiveness was the excellent administration and organization of SALUS I never went without a caregiver, if one was off ill, another was immediately allocated to my partner.

There was always a care manager available to assist and they were very understanding of any concerns that I had.

The accounting was done excellently, and whenever I had a query, it was clearly explained to me.

I would always (and in fact I have already done) recommend SALUS as a first and only choice. Their mantra should be kindness and understanding right through to efficiency and professionalism.

I filled out this survey for my 98 soon to be 99 year old mother. I am always present when the home health provider came and am very impressed with her. Thank you

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.
