My dad was in ICU for 6 days before he passed. He received excellent care, but so did our entire family. The staff was incredible, compassionate, and helpful. Because my family is scattered throughout the entire US and we were all arriving at different times, they accomodated us in everyway. I'm very grateful that my dad had people who cared about him and us in his last days.
