As a nurse in long-term and outpatient family care, Joy Hammond has seen the need for more options when it comes to caring for terminally ill people, she says.
“I would say in general, the staff in hospitals and staff in long-term care do the best that they can. But the reality is, there's just not enough of them. It just simply is the fact of the matter. And you can have the biggest heart to the patient who, or the resident in that case, who is dying, but you cannot be at their bedside 24/7, which is not possible. And so to be able to have that option to have a comfort care situation where you can have a volunteer or paid staff be there and be focused on that patient, be focused on their family, that is a wonderful, wonderful thing,” Hammond said during a meeting Monday night at Stone Church in Bergen.
