Our Clients Touching Story

Hi Doug, in  this very challenging time of health care I wish to share with you one of the many success stories carried out by your staff and facility of Asbury Park. I am a hospice social worker with Sutter. I have a patient whose spouse was in dire need of a respite. She was recently diagnosed with breast cancer and needed to have a procedure performed ASAP. She has no family who could assist with care while she recuperated. As with any of our hospice patients we do not guarantee a respite bed can be obtained. I had a feeling of dread when I started my search during this pandemic. My  obvious choice was to reach out to your admissions department  head Debi Morales. Without fail, she communicated quickly and clearly. Our biggest obstacle was obtaining a Covid 19 test to meet the state requirement of admission. During this process, Debi was calm, supportive and informative. We were able to meet the requirements and your facility provided the 5 day respite. Upon his discharge back to his home our RN case manager commented on the excellent care that had been provided by staff and that his  wounds looked to be better. The most moving part for me in writing this email to you is the response we received from his spouse.  Her procedure went better than they had expected with minimal down time. She stated it is the most rest she has been able to get since her spouse became terminal. She was eternally grateful and appreciated the kind and loving care her spouse received. As she stated to me, “ a weight was lifted from my shoulders and now I can focus on the time we have left together.”

As always, I appreciate your staffs devotion to duty and the commitment your facility provides to meet the needs of our most vulnerable.
