In 2005 my father became one of the first Citrus County patients under HPH care. Dad had stated at 91 that living life had become too hard. The day of his admission he actually gave a “thumbs up” to the admitting nurse. Four weeks later my mother was admitted to the hospital in Congestive Heart Failure and Dad was moved to our home five minutes away. HPH was very supportive; aides came to bath him, Dr. McGrew visited and a Social Worker came and even took him for a ride down the street in his wheelchair. Two days later Dad was able to spend an hour with my mother in the Hospital ICU. When he came home, he was exhausted but relieved that she was going to be OK. He died less than 24hrs after the visit with my mother at his bedside. HPH was very loving and supportive to all of us. Because of this experience I now work for HPH, and try to give the same loving compassionate care to my patients as an HPH RN.
