Natalja took care of my dad for a couple of days while he was here and was so helpful in keeping him calm. Dad had a total of six days here, and she was instrumental in keeping him calm on day five. Dad was ready to escape because he had not been outside since admission, and he loves to take walks outside. She worked her magic to allow him to go to the garden outside the chapel for about ten minutes to enjoy some fresh air! He was so thrilled to be able to see and feel the sun for that short time. She also allowed him to get some rest that night from day five to day six by having the PCA take his vitals around 10 p.m. so he could sleep uninterrupted for the first time during his stay!! My mom and I could not be happier with all that she did. She helped to keep him calm, have some freedom, and get rest!! We could not have asked for a better nurse!!!
