From a Kindred Hospital Patient

I’ve been in hospitals in West Virginia, Texas, Virginia, and New Mexico. Kindred Hospital puts them all to shame when it comes to all the caring personnel. The facilities are fine, but the people are what make the difference. I’m 88 years old, almost blind and crippled. I have never had finer treatment anywhere! – Mildred E.

From Kindred Hospital Patients

It's the Little Things

Kindred Hospital, with its unique blend of talent, demonstrates a good model on how important it is to work together. You should take time to celebrate the important accomplishments you have made. Not everyone can be a nurse!

Thank you – those of you that had to explain to me many times what you were doing, and while I know I was a pain, this information makes it easier for me to take care of myself and to pass this information to another nurse. I have really enjoyed and appreciated some of the specialized services I received, from Pam and the wound care staff, as well as the respiratory people. However, all levels were important. I would love to name names but I would be sad if I left anyone out.

Those of you that gave me an ice-cold cup of Sprite when it seemed so important to me…

The RNs that stood by my IV pole late at night so they would be there to avoid the beeping sound that wakes me up and disrupts my much-needed sleep…

The RN with a positive, encouraging word that started me on a much needed and comfortable spiritual path…

The CNA that made his presence known every morning so I would feel that my needs (even at a lower level of care) were important too…

The LVN – so competent that gave me such reassuring words during my first panic attack…

These may have seemed like small acts to you. They are noticed and mean a lot to your charges.

Let me conclude by saying in some small way, I feel I could be a voice of some of the people in the rooms I pass in the halls. I know if they could, they would also thank you for your human kindness. They would say, “God Bless you and keep up the good work.” Thanks.
