While all of the nurses in the unit provided great care for my mother but Fred’s consistently outstanding medical care coupled with his obvious compassion made all the difference in my mother’s recovery. Fred engaged my mom in conversation, cajoled her with good humor when she was grumpy, and provided compassionate care for us family members as well. My mother is 98 years old and still sharp as a whip, but because of her age, some people tend to ignore her. Fred’s great cared stands out as an example for all nurses to emulate!
