Christina provided him with dignity, respect, and comfort when he was in a vulnerable state.
Christina was amazing. My father has advanced Alzheimer’s, and she took the extra time to speak gently and kindly to not only my father but myself as well. I am a critical care nurse and on that day Christina allowed me to be a daughter. I knew from her first interaction with him that he was in fantastic hands. I trusted her to care for my dad and that is not an easy thing for a daughter like me to do. Christina provided him with dignity, respect, and comfort when he was in a vulnerable state. I will never forget the way Christina treated my father and me that day. Thank you.
