    Review

    Across a broad set of experiences shared about Kindred Hospital, the picture that emerges is a hospital that can deliver exceptionally compassionate, attentive care on some floors and with some teams, while at other times families report alarming lapses in basic hygiene, communication, and adherence to medical directives. Several reviews celebrate the warmth and responsiveness of the staff, applaud the thoroughness of case management, and describe a care environment where families feel their loved ones are treated with dignity and respect. At the same time, other accounts voice serious concerns about safety, privacy, and consistency, reminding readers that experiences can vary markedly from one patient to another.

    A consistent thread in the more positive narratives centers on the 3rd floor and the broader Kindred team's dedication to patient placement, education, and compassionate interaction. Reviewers repeatedly commend the nurses and ancillary staff for being kind and responsive to patient needs, making families feel comfortable with overnight stays, and treating patients as they would their own family. Specific names stand out: Maria and Candris are described as awesome and diligent in ensuring patient comfort and helping families navigate placement. The 3rd floor supervisor, Sharon-Ron, along with Tia, Chelsea, and Jennifer, are cited for their kindness, willingness to help, and timely responsiveness. One caregiver highlights Lisa for her consistently uplifting mood and her ability to bring joy while staying ready to assist in any way. Nurse Kim is recognized for patience, especially in teaching families how to manage procedures after discharge. The case management team earns praise for guiding families through the process, which is repeatedly described as thorough and supportive.

    Care on the 4th floor is also singled out in several reviews, with thanks directed toward a group that includes Sheniah, Liz, Deanna, Jennifer, Rabi, Shy, Robbie, DZ, and both Jennifers, along with the PT, OT, and Speech Therapy teams. Families express appreciation for being treated with dignity, for being checked on regularly, and for staff who are proactive in repositioning patients and ensuring consistent daily care. Across these accounts, families emphasize that staff communicate clearly about what is happening with their loved ones, explain care plans, and provide reassurance during what can be an anxious time. There is a sense that the hospital's interdisciplinary approach - nurses, therapists, case management, and support staff - can deliver a well-coordinated level of care that helps families feel confident in leaving their loved ones in Kindred's hands.

    Beyond the floor-specific praise, some reviews tell deeply grateful stories of recovery and discharge. One family recounts how their father was transported to Kindred from Atrium Cabarrus ICU with trach and dialysis and ultimately discharged to a rehab facility within two weeks. They highlight the transport team, nursing staff, case managers, physicians, respiratory therapists, and therapists as extraordinary and patient-focused. They stress the value of virtual family updates, the patient-centered plan of care, and the availability of detailed information about next steps. In this account, the clinical liaison DJ McLaughlin and case manager Shannon receive particular thanks for patience, thorough explanations, and consistent updates - described as going above and beyond to ensure a smooth transition and reliable communication.

    Yet alongside these positive experiences, other reviewers present a starkly different view. One family, in an extensively critical review, urges readers not to send a loved one to Kindred Hospital, listing a litany of alleged failings that span hygiene and cleanliness, discharge decisions, staff professionalism, privacy, and medical care. The list includes neglect of basic hygiene, with a family member arriving home with red and raw skin due to inadequate cleaning and changing; gowns allegedly left unchanged and a general sense of dirty or unattended conditions; a discharge perceived as premature against specialist recommendations; rude or dismissive staff when questions were raised and even labeling advocacy as rude; alleged HIPAA violations involving sharing private health information with unapproved individuals; improper removal of surgical staples; missed follow-up appointments; staff accused of neglecting patient needs in favor of personal phone use; and claims of physical harm and underarm injuries. The reviewer asserts that Kindred Hospital failed to meet standards of care, ethics, and safety, portraying the facility as unsafe for vulnerable patients.

    A separate, detailed account describes a transfer from Roanoke, VA to Kindred Hospital in Greensboro, NC that began with careful planning and a desire to ensure smooth communication for a family already managing a lengthy recovery. The family and social worker anticipated clear information about visiting hours, room amenities, and patient access to phones. However, they describe delayed responses from the assigned social worker and nurse, limited updates, and a lack of timely information about the patient's status after transport. The narrative notes that the family eventually learned the patient could have a landline, but concerns persisted about timely updates. A critical moment arrives with a physician's grave-manner remark that "Something's wrong with your mother," followed by a sequence of events culminating in the patient's death after a Do Not Resuscitate order was reportedly not followed and critical records were not readily accessible. The family alleges that the DDNR was not posted in the patient's room and that essential steps to honor the directive were not followed, a claim they frame as a fundamental failure in patient rights, safety, and ethics. They describe the hospital's handling of the situation as insufficient and say their mother's end-of-life care and communication fell far short of expectations, leaving them with a lasting sense of dissatisfaction and concern about accountability.

    Taken together, these reviews paint a hospital environment where excellence and compassion can be found in dedicated staff and well-coordinated interdisciplinary teams, but where patient safety and communication gaps can also occur, with serious consequences. The consistently praised experiences underscore how crucial hands-on care, respect for patients and families, and proactive case management can be to a healing journey. The more troubling accounts remind readers that even in a facility with strong staff and positive moments, lapses - whether in hygiene, privacy, procedural safeguards, discharge timing, or adherence to patient directives - can profoundly affect outcomes and family trust.

    If there is a takeaway for prospective patients and families, it is to seek out and document detailed, ongoing communication with the care team, confirm care plans and discharge expectations in writing, and ask about how Do Not Resuscitate orders and other advanced directives will be honored in real-time. It also highlights the value of speaking with multiple members of the care team - including case management, nurses, and physicians - so that care decisions are transparent and aligned with the patient's goals. The experiences shared here collectively suggest that Kindred Hospital can provide remarkably compassionate and skilled care when teams are aligned and communicative, but they also flag a need for consistent standards across floors and a robust approach to privacy, safety, and family engagement to ensure every patient receives trustworthy, safe, and respectful treatment.
