My husband was recently released after a lengthy hospital stay and was not well enough to come home yet. We were unable to find a place for him at any rehab facility, so when a spot opened up in the healthcare center at The Sharon, we decided to move him there. I cannot say enough good things about the staff at The Sharon. The sweet ladies who work at the front desk, the security team, the dining staff, nurses, CNAs, activities team, PT, OT, housekeepers, social workers, chaplain, nurse practitioner, and doctor were all top notch. From the day we arrived, they treated us like part of their family. Although our hope was that my husband could get stronger while he was at The Sharon and eventually come home, unfortunately he took a turn for the worse and we realized he only had a short time left to live. Dr. Tutu, who was his on-site primary care provider, was incredibly compassionate when she came from home late one night to talk us through what was happening. My husband made the decision to forgo further treatment, and he said he felt he was in the right place at The Sharon and wanted to stay there. Our three children came to stay and we were with him round the clock for the next 7 days. I cannot put into words the depth of our gratitude for the kindness and compassion the entire staff extended to us during this gut-wrenching time. I got more hugs and love and support than I could have ever dreamed of. The night my husband finally passed away, staff came in to weep with us and comfort us. It was truly incredible. Our family would like to extend a heartfelt thanks to Stella, Jaqueline, Debra, Jorge, Jillian, Lynne, April, Katrina, Kevin, Haden, Wanda, Vera, Claudia, Davon, Carla, and all the other wonderful staff whose names escape me now. God guided us to you because He knew we were going to need you. We will always be grateful to you all.
