Six Days

When my grandmother became sick, our number one priority was getting her the care she deserved. We loved her deeply, and we wanted to make sure she was going to feel comfortable and safe during this uncertain time.

When she first entered hospice care, she was placed in a larger facility. We quickly realized that she was not being taken care of in the way we wanted. We made the decision to move her to Dignity Care of New Braunfels, and I can wholeheartedly say that it was the best decision that we made.

My grandmother only lived for six more days after moving into Michelle and John’s home, but I would not have wanted her to spend those six days anywhere else. As soon as she arrived, her whole demeanor changed. She began sharing happy memories, and she was no longer uncomfortable or fearful. Michelle was not only a caretaker to her, but a friend. Michelle and John showed my grandmother compassion, love, and support while giving her truly extraordinary care during her final days.

This was an incredibly hard time for us. During her final days, my family spent hours in their home. Michelle and John became a friend to us, too, offering a hand to hold and granting us a comforting presence that I will forever be grateful for.

It brings my family so much peace knowing that my grandmother was truly taken care of in her final days. We could not have picked kinder people to fill the role of providing care to the most cherished person in our lives.
