Above & Beyond


 


I want to thank nurse Brooke Smith of Chester River Home Care for being professional, courteous, caring & efficient and for teaching us all about the use and care for Pop’s catheter. Brooke goes above and beyond in her care for our Pop Pop. Thank you so much!

Kudos to Dr. Lakshmi Vaidyanathan and the Palliative Care team for their work on behalf of my very good friend who was in the Easton hospital. My friend’s very large and sometimes contentious entourage included several stepchildren in their 30s, children in their 20s, a husband with his own health issues and limitations, and a host of siblings, in-laws, cousins and friends, many with little or no experience in losing a loved one, and a few with good intentions but unrealistic expectations about end of life decision making and care. The Palliative Care team did an amazing job of getting everyone on the same page and working together to make my friend’s last days as peaceful and meaningful as possible.

Overall, I feel I received good treatment in the Emergency Department at at UM Shore Medical Center at Chestertown, especially considering I visited the emergency room on a holiday weekend. My medical emergency turned out to be nothing serious, but I am grateful for the medical staff who took my complaints seriously and gave me such a complete work-up.

Andrea Alduino of Shore Home Care was most helpful while working with me during my at-home PT. The outpatient PT group was very impressed at where i started and all I was able to do, getting me off to a great start. Also she is an amazing problem solver, getting me a transport wheelchair and a gel pad, which she picked up and delivered to my house. I owe so much of my progress to Andrea’s high quality care. Many thanks to Andrea and Shore Home Care for having talented people like her on their staff. Blessings to all!

My overall experience at Shore Behavioral Health was good. Faunda was AWESOME – she educated me while making me feel safe and comfy. Nancy did a phenomenal job during the night shift. Leslie was super informative and listened to what I had to say. Great experience. Everything was made easy for me. Very helpful and stress free.
