Kindred Hospitals serve as the bridge for medically complex patients who are unable to recover completely in the traditional short-term acute care hospital setting. Kindred patients require continued care and extended recovery time. Kindred's goal is to help patients grow stronger and more stable before they transfer to a skilled nursing facility, rehabilitation center or home. Kindred uses an interdisciplinary team approach to care that helps our patients return to the highest quality of life possible.

My stay here has been pleasant. They took good care of me. Nice place to visit but I didn't want to stay here as long as I did. Always have a positive attitude and don't harass the nurses; joke with them but don't harass them.. They do need to change the menu items for longer stays though.. Add more variety to the menu.
