May Salus case manager and her staff were extremely helpful. My mom was very ill and on hospice and I needed help caring for her. My case manager was sympathetic to my needs and had a caregiver at my house immediately. The caregivers were wonderful and treated my mom like she was their own mother. They were highly experienced, mature and reliable. They showed up and were very attentive. (I had a bad experience with another company’s staff when my dad was on hospice, just sitting on their phones, not paying attention). Please do your research when finding good home care. There are some companies that hire low quality people, who don’t care. Salus was definitely the top of the line when it came to home care.

I work at an assisted living home. I’ve been doing this work for a long time, seen a lot of hospice. Salus came in and got to know my resident and all of us. The communication with the nurses is amazing. Whenever I had a question or concern, I could call or text and know in minutes. My resident had something to look forward to weekly with the pampering of the shower aide not just a shower or bath, but nails and massage. I would recommend this company to everybody. Thank you so much for the great care. We look forward to working together again.
