This was my first time at Kindred Bay Area and I had no idea what to really expect... Upon arrival my admitting nurse was friendly and attentive, she made me feel comfortable, however since I was experiencing this type of care for the first time it was little strange. The following day I met all disciplinary teams - and the department that stood out to me to most was wound care, especially Cynthia. From the beginning she knew exactly what I needed, and she fought for it - as soon as she walked into my room she said I needed an air mattress and the physician refused, but she kept fighting and the following day it was in my room. All of the wound care team members were thorough with treating my wound, as well as gentle. Each one of them were kind and humorous, and often knew what I needed without me realizing my own needs! I loved that I had my own private room, and the intimate privacy I could have while visiting with my family. One night in particular my whole family (5+ individuals) came to visit me to have a mini-tailgate party while watching the Sunday night football game...they stayed until 11:30pm and not once did the nursing staff state we were too noisy or to leave. The physical therapy team was awesome! Brach worked well with me and never pushed me too hard! The food was not the best, but it's hospital food. I was a picky eater during my stay and the dietician visited me once a week to help provide me with different food options. Nursing staff was good, but could definitely benefit from having additional worked on hand. They were often times stretched too thin and that resulted in long waiting periods before I could be given any assistance. My case manage Tamara was a gem, she always kept me informed of any treatment updates and was a great help when it came to finding skilled nursing facilities at time of discharge. She was very knowledgeable and kind, I'll definitely miss her. All in all the care I received was excellent and I would definitely recommend this hospital to anyone needing long term care. Thank you all!
My stay has been awesome, I do not have one complaint... All of the nursing Staff and wound care staff were all very kind and gentle. The food was very good. The following individuals made sure I had everything I needed: Shurron and Cherri. They made me feel comfortable and answered any questions I ever had, if they did not know they answer they made sure to find out. I was expecting to be here for long term and was given thorough explanations as to why I was being treated. All in all I would definitely recommend this hospital!!
