IRVINE, CA (March 01, 2012) – Salus Homecare has launched a new line of home-based services, providing skilled nursing, rehabilitation, therapy, and social work. When these services are combined with the personal care offerings that Salus has been known for, it offers individuals a "one-source" approach for meeting home-based health needs.

Searching for home health care for a loved one is a unique event in a person's life. The general population usually enters the process abruptly and without guidance or preparation. It can be a stressful time, and not knowing about options only increases the anxiety connected to this decision.

“We realize the need for home health services can often emerge out of a crisis situation or as the culmination of a longer-term decision process,” explained Boad Swanson, President of Salus. “At that critical time, a client may not be able to make a true assessment of what they need – a skilled nurse, a personal caregiver, or a combination of both. Our intent is to simplify the process with our new program called ONE CALL™ by Salus. With just one phone call, our clients have access to our full range of health and care services. That’s where the ability of Salus to coordinate the combination of both services is unique. ”

Customization of services, according to Swanson, can be obtained in a variety of ways – such as the exact number of hours required and the type of duties performed. The levels of support offered by Salus Home Health include skilled nursing, rehabilitation, therapy and medical social services. Salus takes a unique approach by also offering coordinated Personal Care, which provides up to 24 hour non-medical care, short and long-term care and assistance with activities of daily living.

Salus Home Health Services offers coverage in Orange, Los Angeles, Riverside, San Bernardino, Ventura and San Diego counties, as well as Salt Lake City, Utah.

“We intend to develop this new division on the same philosophy with which we have built our overall business. That is, treating the needs of our clients as if they were our own family members or friends,” explained Swanson. “With ONE CALL™ by Salus, we are offering a unique, one-source approach for home healthcare needs. This firmly addresses what has been a void in the industry – the lack of coordination between skilled nursing (medical) and personal care providers (non-medical)."
