My father was a patient in the CCU for 5 days in mid-January. From the moment we arrived on the unit he received excellent care. He was cared for by Sarah and Megan the first two days and they were wonderful.
On the third day, Alysha became his nurse and she cared for him for 3 days. She was amazing! Alysha established a connection with him which resulted in my Dad's contentment and trust which eased all of our family's anxiety immensely. She was prompt with every bit of care he required such as medications, personal care, turning him, IV maintenance and so, so much more. All of this was done with the utmost compassion, kindness, competence and even some much-needed humor.
When my father was transferred to Palliative Care, Alysha helped him understand what was happening with much kindness while being very honest as well. My dad was transferred to 4G after Alysha had cared for him for three days. He lived only one more day and while the nurses on 4G took very good care of him, I must say it is the care given to him by Alysha and all of the staff we interacted with on 3S that I am most thankful for. Thank you all, especially Alysha, for making my dad's last days as pleasant and comfortable as they could have been. I will forever be grateful!
