Our San Diego hospice’s physical support is not curative. Rather, it provides relief from pain symptoms and is palliative in nature. Most clients realize an improved mindset when they are free from physical pain, and with the right support, they maintain their highest level of independence longer.
Safety and comfort remain a top priority for the entire Salus Hospice team in San Diego. Our San Diego hospice medical director and registered hospice nurse closely monitor your care and overall health in order to make your experience a positive one. We also maintain communication with the client’s personal physician and regularly update them about any setbacks, improvements or concerns.
Joann R. November 18, 2020Our caregiver was outstanding! She was here when my wife died! I don’t know what I would have done if she wasn’t here then. She “took over” and knew just what to do! She made the calls to get the right people here and she made my wife look so nice when we spent the last few moments with her! We appreciate everything that she did!
Leone M. January 7, 2020Everyone at Salus was extremely responsive and eager to help and that made our experience so much better during a difficult time.
