Salus Spiritual Support During Hospice Care

There are many ways to think about spirituality from viewing it as an organized religion to referring to it as an honoring of self and inner reflection. In hospice care, a patient often comes closer to their spiritual side, reflecting on their own beliefs and ideas related to purpose and connection. This deep contemplation often results in a lot of questioning, a desire to reconnect with loved ones from the past and even feelings that range from joy to sadness. At Salus Homecare of Salt Lake, our hospice chaplain is prepared to help you recognize the importance of nurturing your own spiritual side.

When considering spirituality, it is important to recognize this does not have to mean a certain religion. These nurturing services are available to patients of all denominations and even those who prefer not to follow any organized religion. They can help you to feel more connected and in touch with your inner self. Spiritual services also often help children and adults to manage uncomfortable emotional or physical symptoms so they can enjoy a higher quality of life.

Salus chaplains are sensitive, non-judgmental and ready to provide support on your terms. No patient is ever forced to accept spiritual care, but these loving and compassionate services are ones that many find beneficial.

Our caseworker was very flexible when we had to change our time. Whenever we had to change the schedule around she was willing to work with us.
