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.
Carol K San Diego Aug 29, 2023My physical therapist was great, kind and friendly. She was professional but also caring. I will recommend both she and the occupational therapy person.
Barbara N San Diego Aug 21, 2023The physical therapist came to our home twice a week treating me for knee replacement therapy. She was extremely professional and encouraging and worked me very hard in order to get back to full usage and mobility. She did an excellent job and I am now 10 weeks post op. I will have full range of motion yet but am getting there..
