Bonalbo MPS staff are such a tight and close team, that they pitched in to nominate the whole workforce for a Stellar Award – and won!
Veverly Villapando, AIN at Bonalbo and Casino said in the application “We the team of Bonalbo demonstrate care, compassion with residents and patients giving our personal touch to all. We always work together no matter the role – from RN, EN, AIN, activities officer, hotel services and admin.
“Our residents loved that we just break out and start singing or dancing giving them a floor show, creating a very happy family environment. Residents often comment how much they enjoy the atmosphere here.
When asked to demonstrate their excellent nursing, they cited the recent example of a palliative care patient.
“The patient was deteriorating and requiring ongoing assessment of his swallowing and mobility as well as general nursing.
“Hotel services assessed and provided tasty and appropriate meals to accommodate his needs. Because the family didn’t live locally, they also did his laundry and provided cheery and happy respite daily.
“To round off, the whole Bonalbo team work together to provide excellent, holistic patient care. We all work together as a great team,” smiled Veverly.
