I stayed at Kindred Central hospital on the 4th floor for 41 days for wound care and IV treatment. The facility is excellent. Kindred one of the cleanest long stay hospitals I have stayed at. The staff is extremely professional and will do what they can to have the patients needs and wants met. The rooms are spacious, even the two-patient rooms. The rooms are cleaned every other day and maintained daily. The nurses, doctors, and CNA s work hard for the patient and make sure that patients who are aware understand their treatment plan. The patient advocate stops by at least three times a week to check in on patients and ask if there is anything that can be improved upon. In addition the physical therapy department makes sure that the patients are working towards both their restorative and occupational physical therapy goals.

The food is outstanding. However, if you have special dietary needs you need to work closely with the dietitian and your patient advocate. This is especially true for diabetic patients. The hospital gives a lot of carbs at meals and if the patient isn t mindful, active, or both, sugar numbers will increase. This will result in the doctor increasing the amount of insulin used to manage sugar.

Overall this facility is great and a perfect place to get the treatment you need by a competent and caring staff.

However, wifi is incredibly slow. If you want to take the time here to catch up on your favorite TV show or watch some movies be ready for a lot of buffering. Even pages like Facebook and Twitter load slowly.
Highly recommend this facility.
