Salus Spiritual Support During Hospice Care in San Diego

Spirituality is a broad term with different meanings for different people. While many view spirituality as participating in an organized religion, this does not have to be the case. Spirituality can be a connection to self or a reflection on thoughts, values and the meaning of life. After learning of a terminal diagnosis, many individuals start to question their own spirituality. They may spend time thinking about the meaning of life or what comes after death, or they may contemplate how they have lived their life and if they are satisfied with that. Responses often vary. Salus Hospice San Diego is here to honor that. Our San Diego hospice chaplains provide nurturing, opportunities for conversation and a variety of services to help.

Spiritual Hospice Support in San Diego Provided:

  • Non-denominational San Diego clergy support
  • Personal and family counseling in San Diego
  • Literature to help hospice patients understand or cope with spirituality
  • Assistance in accessing community hospice support groups
  • Opportunities to reconnect with a religious congregation if the client chooses

Some clients are not religious. However, even they often find value in nurturing their spiritual side. This can help them to regain a sense of purpose, better cope with what is ahead and even mend relationships with loved ones. Spiritual health is also often connected to physical health. Pain management is sometimes easier when spirituality is nurtured.

Salus Hospice San Diego offers spiritual support that is non-judgmental, non-denominational and sensitive. The client leads the way in spiritual conversations, and our role is to provide support in a way that is comfortable for them. Spiritual support with hospice care is not a mandatory service, but it is always available should clients wish to take advantage of it at any point in their San Diego hospice care journey.

PTA was wonderful, kind, compassionate, very helpful, loved her. OT was very good. too. Very motivating.

From the beginning, Salus has been crucial and amazing in the home health care of my 91-year old mom, who suffered a stroke on 12/1. Salus has been different from any and all other business in how they are organized, compassionate and exemplary in home health care. Salus Is the Gold Standard in how they provide families and patients that need home health care. We will shout to the sky with A+ accolades about Salus and their outstanding and excellent care. Our RN’s, MSW, CHHA, PT’s and OT’s were beautiful and super professional and are like friends to us.
