My mother was given excellent care at Kindred Healthcare before she passed away. From day one the communication was incredibly positive and I felt that she received individualized attention from all of the staff members who worked with her. They worked hard to ensure that my mother’s medications were adjusted to keep her as comfortable as possible, and they always listened carefully to feedback from family members on how we wanted our loved one cared for at all times during her hospice stay. The nurses are highly professional and treated my mom with respect despite her illness – it made such a difference in her final days and weeks!

My father had an incredible experience with Kindred Healthcare throughout his hospice journey – even though he did not have any family close by, the staff quickly developed relationships with him & created a supportive environment in which he could rest & pass peacefully without worries or discomfort of any kind! They communicated well both amongst themselves as well as between caregivers & myself over phone calls regularly ensuring me everything was taken care of properly & quickly answered questions if I had them each time we spoke throughout the entire process making sure we were kept up-to-date & feeling comfortable every step of the way!

As a doctor who works frequently upon referral basis, referring patients to Kindred has been something that I rarely have any doubts about – their commitment towards providing quality end-of-life healthcare is unrivaled when compared against other providers in my area, along with their excellent patient care beyond just meds alone being remarkable for however long you may be there for your loved ones needs; Endless amounts of sympathy coupled with knowledge about what is expected typically helps calm everyone involved making this difficult time slightly easier than could be expected anywhere else !
