Ashley took the absolute best care of my grandpa while during his last stay at Union Hospital. She went above and beyond for not only him but also our family. She held his hand and just sat with him when he asked, she was so thoughtful and considerate when we had to make difficult decisions in his care. She knew the right words when no one could find them. She got him cookies from the cafeteria when he was struggling to find something to eat and did everything in her power to make sure he was taken care of. She knew me and my family were traveling out of state and she made sure to stop after a 14-hour workday and get a Valentine for my 16-month-old son. We were blown away by her. We need more nurses like her. I am a nurse myself and I can only hope to provide the high quality and compassionate care she gave my grandpa in his final days. He thought so much of her and so did we. She is a nurse we will never forget.
