Dolores is an absolute angel. She went over and beyond in her care for an elderly patient that was transferred to our facility. He was in dire straits with no home to return to, nor shoes for his feet. She bought him shoes, collected sparse personal items from an unsafe housing situation, connected him with his son, and made him smile. She continues to enrich his life as a dear friend when he was afraid of the world. Dolores you ROCK!

Dolores cared for a gentleman in CCU who came to us with very poor hygiene and unclean clothes. His clothes were un-wearable; his shoes were so worn that he had placed magazine pages in the soles so that his feet would stay warm. Dolores cared for him as if he were royalty. She bathed layers of dirt off his body, and lotioned his skin. She took his clothes home to wash them because he doesn't have a washer. She also bought him a new pair of shoes. When she came in the next day to try on his shoes, he gave her the biggest smile! Dolores continuously cares for patients in the most selfless, compassionate way. She is an angel.
