Beth was incredibly attentive, going above and beyond to ensure my comfort during her caregiving, especially bathing, making sure my medical dispensation was timely without me having to always reach out.
My husband was diagnosed with stage four cancer. It was very aggressive. When we transferred from the Emergency Room to the 4th Floor, we were transitioned to palliative care. She helped my husband get settled in his room and put both of us at ease. When you are dealing with illness, she provides kindness and compassion. It meant everything. I also liked her calm and soothing nature. She was very attentive to my husband’s needs and kept a smile on his face while she was tending to business. Nurses like her are rare and should be acknowledged. She rocks. She is number one.

I was genuinely delighted by the care and time to understand my needs, especially considering the pain I was in. Beth was incredibly attentive, going above and beyond to ensure my comfort during her caregiving, especially bathing, making sure my medical dispensation was timely without me having to always reach out. Every commitment she made, she honored with kindness and sensitivity. Beth checked on me regularly, making sure I wasn’t experiencing any pain and that my needs were met. She always took time to explain what she was doing as she provided care. Her approach made a significant difference as she detailed what I could expect through the process. Her dedication truly made my experience more positive, and I am grateful for her compassionate support.
