This nurse treated my mother with great respect and compassion, creatively working around my mom’s disabilities
My elderly mother was in the progressive care unit. This nurse was the admitting nurse. I wasn’t there at the time, but my sister was and she told me how kind and compassionate this nurse was. This nurse came back on duty days later when I was with my mom and I saw her for myself. This nurse called me by name – remembering a family member’s name means a lot! This nurse treated my mother with great respect and compassion, creatively working around my mom’s disabilities (nearly blind & deaf). She engaged with my mom, clearly explaining everything she was doing. Sunday afternoon, Mom was transferred to a regular room on the 6th floor where she passed away on Monday. I am grateful Mom had such great care in her last days. Thank you.
