He doted on her without anyone asking him to, and made her feel special and not like a burden.
Rad Cuebas was such a Godsend during a very difficult time for our mother and our family. He was just so sweet to her. He treated her like she was his own grandmother. He doted on her without anyone asking him to, and made her feel special and not like a burden. She was having issues with confusion and high CO2 levels. He checked on her regularly to make sure she didn’t need anything. We have a large family, and I’m sure he was having to explain the same thing repeatedly, but was always very polite, thorough, and respectful. The other nurses were pleasant, but it just wasn’t the same level of care as when he was there. We noticed that the other nurses regularly called for his help as well. He was more than willing to help them all. We appreciate him so much!

Nurse Rad was making rounds checking on patients and had come into the room where he found my grandmother crying, he instantly came into the room asking her if she was ok and how he could help. He proceeded to go and get her a Sprite and a Jello and sat down and began a simple conversation with her until she had calmed down. He had gone out of his way several times for her to make sure she was comfortable and taken care of! He hands down has been the best registered nurse we have come into contact with! He always has a smile on his face and is eager to help in any way he possibly can!! Then after being discharged for two weeks I had walked back in due to her being readmitted. He instantly recognized me and took care of his patient and escorted me to her room expressing his concern for her and the changes that she has had within two weeks and expressed his hopes for her to get better! More places need a Rad in their facility!
