It was refreshing to go into a Nursing facility where you see the DON walking the halls checking in on resident s, being sure that her nurses are supported and that she was there to help. The therapy department was absolutely amazing they were all on point working with the residents had them exercising And were motivating. I also saw the house doctor making rounds and visiting talking to the clients and genuinely showing an interest in each individual. Specifically tailoring the needs to the client themselves, and addressing them.

As a nurse of 31 years primarily a professional agency nurse I have seen all types of facilities. During Covid these facilities did the best they could with what they had ,they made sure that their residents were protected to the best of their ability, Unfortunately ,many other facilities were not doing their best. Tragedy befell many of them, the facilities were in disarray, supplies weren t available, the residents were suffering and didn t even understand what Covid was or comprehend why things have changed so much. I must say To be honest many of the facilities I had visited during this time Were very disturbing to my Nursing Ethic this past year really drove home how helpless I felt.Never did I ever feel compelled to leave the nursing field but many a day I went home distraught that I couldn t do more.

This facility Honestly has renewed my faith and my Belief that There are real heroes real healthcare workers people who are in it to truly help the individual ( not profit off tragedy). Again I go back to the DON and administrators who work mostly in offices and rarely seen in most facilities ( unless State is there) Actively walking the floor not once not twice , Multiple times during the day. This is a facility where I would feel comfortable not only Having one of my loved ones there but possibly being there myself as a client/resident.

Thank you all of you For renewing the fire and passion I have for my career as a nurse.
