My father was in the final stages of terminal cancer. Janis treated him with great respect and compassion; accepting his jokes on his good days and trying to make him as comfortable as possible on his bad days. We could always count on Janis' honesty when we asked about my father's condition as it changed from day to day. She made sure he received the proper medications as his situation changed and tried hard to find foods he would or could eat. Janis never made us feel that she was in a rush. She took the time to speak with us and answer any questions we had. All the attributes of a great nurse helped make my father's last days comfortable both to him and to my family. That is the most one can expect from a health care professional. My father's passing is eminent and Janis has been a bright spot in a difficult situation.
