I witnessed the enormous affection with which Rosario always treated my mother.
Mi madre de 89 años tuvo un Stroke que la dejó sin poder usar el lenguaje ni el lado derecho de su cuerpo, pero conservando sus capacidades mentales casi a plenitud. En casi un mes de hospitalización muchas enfermeras y TENS han sido amables, comprensivos, pacientes y empáticos; sin embargo Rosario fue más alla de todo eso y para mi mamá se transformó en una amiga, le tomó muchísimo cariño y aun con su dificultad para expresarse lo hacia visible. Fui testigo del enorme cariño con que Rosario trató siempre a mi madre, la motivaba a avanzar en su rehabilitación, tanto que se animó a practicar decir “gracias” para poder decírselo personalmente a Rosario. Es por esto que me pidió que la mominemos al premio DAISY.

My 89-year-old mother had a stroke that left her unable to use language or the right side of her body but retaining her almost full mental capabilities. In almost a month of hospitalization, many nurses and TENS have been kind, understanding, patient, and empathetic; however, Rosario went beyond all that and for my mother, she became a friend; she became very fond of her, and even with her difficulty expressing herself, she made it visible. I witnessed the enormous affection with which Rosario always treated my mother. She motivated her to advance in her rehabilitation, so much so that she was encouraged to practice saying “thank you” so she could say it personally to Rosario. This is why she asked me to nominate her for the DAISY Award.
