We encourage you to introduce Balsam to your loved one prior to referring them to us. Involve them in decision-making, and let them value the care they will receive, so that they will welcome Balsam as a partner in their care.
How?
Inform them that the care that Balsam provides will offer them and their family an extra layer of support.. This care is committed to managing their symptoms, providing them with comfort, and improving their maximum potential functionality thus improving their overall quality of life. All this is done in collaboration with their primary physician (if the patient agrees to this).
You chose Balsam because you want to ease the burden of their illness and help them be comfortable at home. Balsam will also help you, as a family, learn how to better care for your loved one at home.
