The last night of my stepdad's life, Grace was taking care of him as my mom (a retired nurse) stayed by his bedside. My mom said Grace was the best nurse she has seen in 50 years and exemplifies everything nursing is about. Grace carefully explained each treatment that was happening to my stepfather before staff did anything.
My mom said she comforted her, hugged her and even cried with her, not once, but multiple times. Grace made what was a horrible time, one full of comfort and compassion. I am so glad she was by my mother's side. Thank you, Grace!

Grace's joy is infectious. Her upbeat attitude kept me in a positive frame of mind. I especially appreciated that all 3 nights, she kept my meds on track like clockwork.

Grace was always so sweet and helpful and was concerned about me. She took good care of me.
