Kayla was truly a guardian Angel for our dad while he was in Hospice. We are at peace now knowing our dad is in Heaven. I am sure he had angels greeting him when he got to Heaven, but he did have one here on earth as well. Each morning before she left , she would come in - comb and brush his hair, clean up his face, shave his face if needed, etc. She would prepare him for a day of company from family. She would talk, laugh, and cry with him. She is simply amazing and an amazing person. She was always so calm and collected. She would email the Hospice nurse and give them updates. She would give them updates to see if there is anything different they should be doing with our dad’s meds to keep him comfortable.

Thank you, Kayla J, for your exceptional compassion, advocacy, and dedication to your patients. You truly make a difference.
