We just had a hurricane hit. Over 2 million people were without power. I'm impressed that the hospice chaplain, CNA and RN all called to check on my parents. They said to feel free to call the hospice agency if they need assistance. I thanked them for being so thoughtful. My parents have low battery on their phone and my dad is wheelchair bound and lives in the third floor and the elevator won't work. I'm calling hospice to check on them periodically. I live 1 hrs away and have no power either. What an experience.
