As death nears, many families are faced with trying decisions regarding end of life planning. Having a knowledgeable professional available to listen, advise and answer questions helps to ease confusions and uncertainties so family members develop new coping skills, reduce stress and regain a sense of peace.
After a patient passes, the family often faces new challenges and continues to need emotional support. Salus of Riverside County’s bereavement counselors remain available to talk, provide comfort, and offer opportunities to reminisce and a chance for healing. This extended support is valued by many of our clients and part of the reason they choose to use our accredited services.
Mary Jo W. Temecula March 17, 2025I continue to recommend Hospice care to anyone questioning if it is good. It made the passing of my husband so much easier, It was natural, at home and loving. He watched the hummingbirds out the window and knew he was on his way home to Jesus. So so much better than in a sterile hospital. A big thank you to all who helped case for both of us.
Lisa H. RiversideEveryone we dealt with from Salus was amazing. This was such a difficult time for our family, but all of mom’s hospice team became like family to us, and they were all a Godsend! I couldn’t have cared for her without them. We couldn’t have felt more blessed with moms primary nurse. The LVN’s were awesome, one of the LVN’s was with us as mom was passing. Her kindness and compassion as well as the way she kept us informed about what was happening was so helpful. our bath aid was a great and she was so kind to mom. Our entire family is so grateful for all that the Salus team did for us.
