My daughter was admitted March 1, 2023, Sycamore,IL, this was the facility that excepted her health insurance. From day one, my daughter barely talking, called me crying saying she needed me and that they weren’t doing they job. When I got there my daughter was holding her urine, buzzing for a nurse to come, the nurse finally came in, pausing, then saying I need help, by that time my daughter had urinated on herself, and 10 minutes they gathered nurses to help change her. Nurses just passing the room at night looking like zombies and nowhere to be found. It’s sad you can’t find good, caring people to care for your love ones. I recommend Not to send your Love ones to this facility.????
I was a patient there March 2022 and had exACT same thing happen to me; it was humiliating, soiling myself more times than you can count. I finally ripped off sheets to bed (and my ‘garment’), only to have livid nurses run into my room, asking what I was doing, and threatening to put me back in restraints, which Dr. said I no longer needed). Hours waiting for rx, questionable charges…just DON’T allow loved one there (I still have nightmares).
This is a copy of an email I wrote my children 17 days before their father, an M.D. died:
Date: September 27, 2020 at 7:25:18 AM PDT
“Last night was something out of a horror show. For over an hour daddy was aggressive, shaking the side of the bed rail vigorously, cursing, yelling, saying he wanted to die and uncontrollable. This will eventually end but there seems to be a question of getting liquid lorazepam because he spits out many of his pills, whether in apple sauce or Jell-O. Nobody should have to go through that, PERIOD! I’m getting some BS reason that he can’t get more liquid lorazepam. There should be no question about that. Maybe Hospice doesn’t want to prescribe the liquid because it’s more expensive than the pill. It would be better for him to be more sedated than acting like he’s on a drug trip from the 60’s,”
THE CARE MY HUSBAND ECEIVED FROM KINDRED WAS THE WORST. FORTUNATELY I HAD 24/7 AIDS FOR HIM. IF YOU LIVE IN MIAMI DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY!!!!!
Local Kindred Home Health is discharging patient whose doctor says requires skilled nurse and therapy without having established a care plan. Is the way you do business.
I am a client of your Seattle office. I have been with Kindred for 10 months. I had been receiving excellent care until my regular nurse left a month ago. Since then I developed pnuemonia and a stomach ulcer. My care for these has been spotty at best. The management has been very difficult and the assistant Melissa threatened me.she was unhappy that I did not want to accept the nurse they assigned to me. she refused to make any acommodation and alluded to the way my previous nurse treated me. Melissa told me there would be no more special treatment. She said If I did not like it I could go to any other hospice I wanted, and that she could provide the names of a few. She said that was all they could offer. I told her I did not appreciate the veiled threat. I reported it the next day To Shakur the Chaplan. He indicated that she had mentioned our conversation but that she recounted it quite differently. He did not elaborate but told me to call Lori the manager. I did and Lori acted as though she had heard nothing about it. I advised Lori that that it appeared that Melissa had said something that was not true to possibly make me look bad to my caregivers. Odd that the day after Melissa was spoken to about threatening me she announced she was leaving, I wonder why. It is a serious violation. Lori was required to report it whether or not I filed an actual complaint. I don’t believe she did report it. The following day Melissa announced she was leaving Kindred. Since that time I have been receiving what amounts to harassment and have been treated as a troublemaker. The management felt my previous nurse was spending extra time and doing extra for me. Lori has been doing things to let me know I would be doing better elsewhere. The nurse ordered a breathing machine for the pnuemonia. Lori cancelled the prescription for the medication needed to operate the machine without telling the nurse. Four days later I texted the nurse. she said it was unacceptable that the prescription had not arrived as I need the breathing machine. Kelly called the office and Lori called me. She said she cancelled the prescription because my primary diagnosis would not allow it to be paid for. she said they would pay for the machine but I needed to pay for the medicine. That was wrong. She finally authorized it. Then I was admonished for texting the nurse I thought was temporarily my nurse. Lori had advised her, but not me that she would no longer be my nurse.I have been repeatedly left out of the loop with management. The nurses have been wonderful. It does not surprise me why they keep leaving. Why would she send the machine and deny the medicine to use it and not tell me I had to pay for it. She did not even call it in, she cancelled a doctors order! Then she told me she had to get the Drs authorization to do it. I reminded her the Dr had already written the prescription that she chose to cancel and not tell me. She then re authorized it herself without the Dr. There has been a pattern of problems related to Melissas original threat that have made me feel unsafe. She has been making other decisions for me against my wishes without any consultations whatsoever. I found out after the fact. They are in a power position over me. They have been using that power in a very arbitrary fashion without thought for the consequences to me. The largest violation was they changed my primary diagnosis upon my initial admission without even mentioning it to me. This is critical as the change made will cause a 25% reduction in my pension survivors benefit to my family. That is why the primary diagnosis read as it did. It is what goes on the death certificate. I would never have authorized it. I found the change when five months later after several requests I was given the certificate of terminal illness and saw it was changed. After much hassle and being made to feel like they were doing me a big favor Dr Cordoba changed it. I was told it had been changed to get better prescription coverage. small comfort to my family for what it is costing them. The new certificate still has the wrong diagnosis! Melissa was supposed to correct it but did not. I just discovered it yesterday, two months after it was supposed to be done. If I die with it this way my family gets shorted due to their negligence. please help get this corrected asap. I am not in good health. There would be no problem if they had talked to me before ever changing it. I am beginning to see a definite pattern with management and their exercising their power over my affairs. they have done some damage that can and should be corrected before it causes much more harm to me or my family. The stress this has caused to me is considerable. My phone # is 480-509-XXXX. My Sister Diane Whitman is my
contact person at 206-909-XXXX. Thank you for your attention to this.
Sincerely, Douglas M. Whitman
Kindred Seattle chose me as an Interim Infection Preventionist and two days before I was due to start, I was told they were no longer interested in pursuing an interim engagement and were going the permanent position route. However, the job was reposted today as Interim with the agency I was signed with and I cannot reach anyone at Kindred to provide me with an explanation for this decision.

I’m writing concerning the legal and safe patient ratio that is being used at Kindred in Hammond indiana. At this present time one aide is taking care of 13 patients and the proper care is not being done because. Person can only be in one place at a time. Patients are on the call lights for hours because the staff is not chiming in to help. The cna has been working in this matter for weeks not because the staff is not available the staff is being flexed to keep the budget down. Many workers have quit and still quitting.
I have been working for Girling Health Care for 5 years. In that 5 years I have received one raise. I have been a faithful employee and went beyond my duties with my clients. Also, I have worked during that time when I was going through radiation treatments for breast cancer. I would say that is a loyal employee. I work out of the Beaumont Texas office. I was in the area that got hit by Harvey. It hit us on Saturday and by Tuesday I went back to work. Because, I’m dedicated to my clients. I have ask for a raise and never get one. I have two clients now. And have ask for another to replace the third one I had. Every time I call to see if they found me another client. I keep getting the run around with this office. I never get a call back. I can not make it 19 hours a week. Pleàse, if you can help I would greatly appreciate it. Thank you, Sharon Tenney
Im am an employee of kindred/rehab care. I need the fax number to send my direct deposit form.
Thanks!

My name is Nilda Santiago, I’m speaking for my mother.
My mom is been with kindred for a year or more. I have no complaints with the can nor the nurse, they are wonderful people and they treat my mother with respect. My problem is with the office staff, they do not returned the call, even the supervisors.I call every week about the supplies that are never right. This has been going on for quite a while and I’m tired of it. Please take care of the problem otherwise I’m going to take matter into my own hands.
I’m too stressed out to have to deal with something that can be fixed if you trained the staff to do their job.
My mother is from Kissimmee FL. She is ninety two years old, I’m her daughter and caretaker. I’m having problems communicating with the office staff. I’ve been calling the office every Monday for the past month to let them know that the supplies they send are incorrect. They supervisors
Do not returned the calls nor do they communicate with each other because their answer is,I don’t know. I’m under a lot of stressed to be dealing with people telling me I don’t know. All I’m asking is for them to realized that what they are doing is wrong, cause nobody in the office seems to know what they are doing. Please do something about this situation before I do something about it. I have no problems with the nurse and cna they are fantastic.
I have been with Kindred since September 2017. Someone, sure needs to train the office crew.
I couldn’t have asked for a better Team and Family at my facility. It will be 9 years this May. It’s not only my job, but it’s home. Ive started out right after i turned 18, I have grown so much there in these past 9 years. If it wasn’t for the team there i wouldn’t be the woman and the Senior Nurse Assistant I am today! Thank You,

Hi , I need a phone number and person to contact from the Corporate Accounts Payable Office I believe, regarding a matter dating back from 1999 to 2001. The matter involves the bankruptcy of Vencor, re-emerging as Kindred. I would appreciate any help you can provide. Thank you in advance.
Joan,
My company collects old, bad, and ugly debt.
How much is the invoice? Date ? and a good phone number to call?
I can forward our companies information. No fee unless we collect.
I can have our rep give you a call. We have collected from Girling in the past which is an affiliate of Kindred.
