Michele Salsiccia is a nurse who has gone above and beyond for our family on multiple occasions. She cared for my father during his final days, and again, she provided compassionate care to my grandmother during her last days as a hospice patient. On both occasions, Michele demonstrated a deep understanding of not only the medical needs but also the emotional and psychological aspects of end-of-life care, bringing comfort to both our loved ones and our family.
When Michele first cared for my father, her gentle and empathetic approach was evident from the start. She took the time to listen to his needs and worked with us to make sure he was as comfortable as possible in his final days. Michele’s calming presence and compassionate nature helped alleviate the stress and fear we were all experiencing. She made sure my father’s wishes were honored, all while explaining the care process and providing us with clear guidance, so we felt informed and involved in every decision.
When my grandmother became a hospice patient, Michele was there for our family once again. Having already established a bond with us, Michele provided a sense of familiarity and trust, which was such a relief during a time that felt uncertain and overwhelming. She brought the same compassion to my grandmother’s care, ensuring her comfort with every detail, from her physical needs to her emotional well-being. Michele was always gentle and reassuring, offering comfort and support to my grandmother and our family during every visit.
Michele’s ability to connect with both my father and my grandmother in such a personal and meaningful way is what sets her apart. She treated both with the utmost dignity and respect, always prioritizing their comfort and peace. Her expertise and dedication were matched by her kindness and genuine care for the family, and we will always be grateful for the profound impact she had on us during both challenging times.
