So grateful for the improvements my loved one made during the very short amount of time they were there. Physical therapy helped her reach the level she had been at before she became sick.
Thanks to the kind and great nursing care, my dad was able to return home. The wound care team was excellent as well as the respiratory therapists and physical therapists.
Realizing some people overreact to a loved one's death, but I'm hoping everyone will take my review seriously. My mom passed away in March of this year, and she was actually getting better prior to being transferred to this hospital. The first day she was there the doctor wrote she was being treated for cirrhosis of the liver, and said it was going to be ok. I remember telling the doctor my mom had never drank, smoked etc. He said "Some people get it genetically or from certain medications", it still made no sense to me. She was originally transferred there for acute renal failure, but the doctor has nothing about that in her entrance records. However, he did say she was going to get better, and would be on her way to a full recovery in a few weeks. My mom never got better, she developed a peptic ulcer, hepatic encephalopathy, Spontaneous bacterial peritonitis, Swollen abdomen, Malnutrition - the nurses would report her as being fed, but she never ate. She was placed on sulfa drugs and she was allergic to sulfa. There were so many things done to her, and just ignored. I am not kidding my mom was given a lot of meds she was allergic to, and she was never fed. She basically started starving to death which made her liver worse, and eventually died. The hospital is also very dirty, looking in some of the drawers in my mom's room there was something that looked exactly like mouse droppings. There were things left in the room from former patients such as pajamas etc. The cabinets were filthy and made of metal due to the fact they were original from the 1950's. It was a complete nightmare. Please do not take your loved ones to this hospital.
Just prior to being transferred to Kindred, I was told my wife would probably never recover from her pulmonary illness. I knew nothing about Kindred prior to her getting there. I was amazed from the start. The entire staff on 2East started working and nursing her back to health. She has not only come from respirator to only needing oxygen at a minimal amount to being transferred to a rehab facility close to home. She is only a week or so away from total discharge. Kindred's team from the janitorial up to the doctors treated her and our entire family as if we were part of there family. Thank You Kindred Hospital for giving me my wife back.
