Show you care
tons honesty. they listened and they were there
when 1'a and or our family needed them.- The
other hospital beds were mostly all tilled during
this time but yet whenever Pa needed any thing
they arrived, prompt') always talking to. nth Dad
and explaining what they were doing. The
Palliativa Care meeting with our family was very
helpful for us all. The seater they provide is a big
asset to )our hospital. We were very fortunate to
be able to haive Pa in your new' Palliative Care
Room. it was just like having l'a in a home setting...
It allowed•the fancily to be fancily and the nurses to
.be nurses. If Pa was at home the family would be
doing•nursing rare and not have time to -be a fami-
ly. The Palliative Care room allowed someone to
stay with Pa at alltimes very comfortably. The
Paltiatite Care Team said that i' would always

family and thct were. so right - it was a special
time •
