Sunflower Award

Janice Booker

A family member submitted a nomination recognizing Janice for her outstanding work.  “As you know, registered nurses can be a little picky when it comes to a loved one receiving health care,” she wrote. “Not only am I an RN of 20 years, but I have eight years of hospice experience and I also have been a director of nursing and an assistant director of nursing –  so you could say it takes a little to impress me. My aunt was a patient at Ohio’s Hospice of Butler & Warren Counties. Her death was rather shocking to us because, despite her first set of strokes, she was sitting up in a wheelchair feeding herself, alert and oriented, and speaking with us just a few days ago. Unfortunately six more strokes followed….Today would have been my Aunt’s birthday, so as you can imagine, this was all very hard on us.  Janice and your staff made this transition more bearable, which we are grateful for.  Janice also provided care to my grandfather Harold Helton a few years ago, and she was of course excellent then too. There was absolutely nothing I can think of that they could have done better! They are truly a great asset to Hospice of Butler & Warren Counties! Thank you again for such wonderful care.”
