Hospice’s physical support helps patients to more effectively manage pain, discomfort and symptoms that typically accompany life-limiting diagnoses. While hospice’s physical care is never designed to provide a cure, it does allow the majority of patients to remain more independent and improve their quality of life.
Physical support is monitored by Salus Homecare’s hospice medical director and a registered nurse to ensure the safety and comfort of our patients. Additionally, we work closely with our patient’s medical providers, ensuring they receive regular updates and information that helps to improve the hospice care experience.

Anonymous Riverside County Feb 27, 2024I was so happy to get the therapist I did. He is such a good physical therapist. He is very patient and caring. He always calls when he’s on his way. I do what exercises he tells me to do, and I already feel I’m healing.
