From her caring voice to her can-do attitude. I always knew that Celeste would be gentle and honest with us.
Celeste didn't simply take care of my mother, she was instrumental in helping my family and me work through the rollercoaster of emotions at the end of Mom's life. She was such a calming influence on all of us, especially Mom. From her caring voice to her can-do attitude. I always knew that Celeste would be gentle and honest with us. Celeste always treated my mother with the utmost dignity and respect, and always sympathized when Mom struck out, citing that she was sure Mom was in pain and really couldn't blame her for lashing out, since she couldn't otherwise communicate. She went out of her way to make us all feel cared for and always found something positive to say about her visits with Mom. She called in wound care and behavior specialists to assist in easing Mom's pain and anxiety and truly prioritized Mom's comfort and quality of life. Thank you to everyone at Palos Home Health for caring for my mother.
