Abel stands out and has been such a rock for me through this entire experience. They made me feel like I was at home and welcomed me and my family members like one of their own. This nurse has truly made a difference in my life and this world.

Even though our loved one had suffered a brain injury, Abel still saw our family member for who he was and treated him like a friend. Their bedside manner is top-notch, and Sheltering Arms is a better place because of this nurse.

Thank you is not enough for what this nurse meant to our family. We truly could never thank them enough.

Abel was amazing but what was most incredible was the way they were able to relate with me and talk to me on my level. It was like we had been friends for years. This nurse was always positive, and you could tell they loved their job. Abel is one of Sheltering Arms’ greatest assets. This nurse’s devotion to the profession is commendable.

Abel showed ultimate compassion, respect, and understanding for my situation and connected with me on a level that made a huge impact on my recovery.

Abel is a wonderful team player and consistently picks up extra shifts as needed on both days and nights. Whatever the need is, this nurse will do their best to help the team when needed.

Abel consistently receives “shout outs” from patients during manager rounding on social media posts, patient/family reunion meetings, and Awardco. It is abundantly clear that patients love the care this nurse provides.
