Sariga spent quality time with my mom talking with her and listening to her stories. She even relayed some of the stories back to us, it was evident she really cared and got to know my mom and our family.
Our mother was a COVID 19 patient in April. As you can imagine it was heartbreaking to be separated from her at the end of her beautiful life. Sariga was her nurse over several of her last days and was a godsend. Her empathy and compassion were endless. Sariga kept us updated on everything that was happening. She spent quality time with my mom talking with her and listening to her stories. She even relayed some of the stories back to us, it was evident she really cared and got to know my mom and our family. This brought us so much comfort, knowing she was there with our mom when we couldn't be and that she wasn't alone. Sariga was there to hold the phone for mom when she no longer could, allowing us to tell her how much we loved her. We are forever grateful for all she did. We can't even begin to express how much it meant to us. Sariga truly embodies every quality of a great nurse.
