My mom has had dementia for about 8-9 years. Unfortunately, last week she fell and had to be transported to the hospital. Being in a hospital can be a very frightening experience for someone in her condition. She was transported by ambulance and came in through the Emergency Department. After she received treatment there, she was placed in a room to start her recovery process. With her condition, being outside of her typical environment could have been very discomforting. Dementia is a terrible disease. However, my Mom and our family were very lucky and blessed that she was at a BayCare facility. Every BayCare team member who provided care for my mom understood her condition and did their best to make her stay as pleasant as possible. I can't say enough positive things about the care and loving treatment my Mom received from the entire BayCare team. I've always said that being in the healthcare industry is a calling, not just a job. My family feels so proud and lucky that God called these team members to take care of my Mom.
