Compassion in Action: A Family’s Heartfelt Thank-You to Horizon Care Services

Celebrating Exceptional Care in Palm Beach County

At Horizon Care Services, compassion isn’t just part of our mission — it’s what defines every moment of care we provide. Recently, we received a touching letter from the family of a hospice client who wanted to share their deep appreciation for one of our certified nursing assistants, Dominique Romelus.

Their words remind us why compassionate, person-centered care is at the heart of what we do every day across Palm Beach Gardens, West Palm Beach, and surrounding South Florida communities.

A Family’s Experience with Compassionate In-Home Care

During their father’s final six months in hospice, the Edwards family worked closely with our team and experienced firsthand the difference that dedicated, professional caregivers can make.

In their own words, they described Dominique as “deeply considerate and compassionate… quick to learn his daily routines… and always responsive to his changing needs.”

Dominique provided steady comfort through empathy, communication, and genuine warmth — from preparing nutritional meals when swallowing became difficult to maintaining calm reassurance when words were hard to find. She constantly monitored small details to ease discomfort and brought a cheerful presence that brightened difficult days.

“Dominique’s compassion, competence, and professionalism were of benefit to both her patient and our family. She understood the challenges hospice patients and their families face — and she gave compassion to all involved.”

Communication and Collaboration that Builds Trust

The Edwards family also praised Dominique’s exceptional communication — not only with their father but with family members and the hospice team. She ensured care routines were followed with precision, left detailed updates for incoming caregivers, and shared valuable feedback to improve comfort and coordination.

When the family needed privacy, she gave them space while remaining attentive and ready to assist. Whether helping set up mobility equipment, preparing meals, or providing updates from hospice staff, Dominique embodied the professionalism and empathy Horizon Care Services strives for every day.

Dedication Beyond Expectations

What stood out most to the family was Dominique’s initiative. She collaborated with the care team to improve their father’s comfort, organized communication during 24-hour care schedules, and even accompanied the family on outings — wheelchair walks, grocery trips, and neighborhood visits — ensuring every moment counted.

Her ability to blend skill, leadership, and heart represents the best of what Horizon Care Services offers:

• Compassionate, patient-centered caregiving
• Reliable communication and coordination
• Support for families navigating end-of-life challenges
• Dedication to comfort, dignity, and respect
