Erin has shown a true compassion for her career. My client was in ICU and is a total assist type of patient, only having full function of herright arm. Erin would take the time from her busy schedule and order all meals for my client as well as preparing the plate of food which allowed my client easier ability to eat. Erin took the time to braid my client's hair after making sure her personal hygiene was complete. Erin spoke to my client using terminology that she could understand. Every 30 minutes Erin would peek her head in the room to see if we needed anything or if she could be of assistance. I have been with my client for close to 5 years and Erin is the first medical personnel I have come across who treated my client with such respect and compassion. Erin would come in the room smiling and eager to help. Erin listened to the advice of her co-workers who had cared for my client. I cannot speak highly enough of Erin.
