Hilda Pena
Caregiver
Oxnard,CA
Summary
Dedicated Hospice Caregiver, recognized for compassionate patient assistance and effective communication. I enhanced quality of life for terminally ill patients while providing emotional support to families. Committed to maintaining dignity and comfort during end-of-life care. This transition is a difficult one for the patient and loved ones, as a caregiver I have been able to ease some of the process by listening and understanding that no one is realy prepared to say good bye to a loved one.
