I truly wish it was a way to not give a star at all. The communication skills at this facility is dispicable. I met the case manager almost a month of my love one being at this facility. That was because I inquired on who I needed to speak with to get doctors to contact me at least once a week. NEVER received that I had to run Dr. Jingo down myself each week. Not one time of him being admitted did I see or talk to any other doctors. Its like they were hiding something and didnt want to communicate with the family. Wasnt use to that after leaving Grady and the team of doctors ALWAYS made it around to talk. The nurses I cant say all but some were compassionate about what they did. Others were doing it for a check clearly. Had one incident to happen May 29 file report with head nurse Abbey that day. Not sure if this place is an undercover hospice and just how many patients SUCCESSFULLY are discharged. My family and I were referred here from Grady Hospital. Rehabilitation I never seen for the 5 weeks he was admitted. Though notation was up in his room stating different. From myself coming every day and another family member coming at night never notice. My family member seem to have decline instead of getting better. With that being said I was told that he would have to be discharged and moved to Colquitt Ga, which was totally not an option. Let me be clear to anyone new thinking about admitting your love one here. This is a short term facility meaning no months to stay here and when your time is up! They will let you know and be very adamant about it. He was in ICU for almost a month and received one on one assistance but once you hit that floor. Its a wrap you best do as many pop up visits as possible if you care and love for your love one. IV machine clearly empty and giving alert I would just sit and see how long it will take for them to come and unhook and flush. If too long I go straight to the desk and request for nurse. I provided soap, Vaseline and lotion to be used. They insist on using wipes, these are adults not babies thats not getting them clean. The Vaseline was for the moisture on his lips I would still have to do whenever I came alone with washing his face. He also contracted a blood disorder while at this facility. Sad to say 2 of my coworkers advised me after we left that they loss family members here. I dont know the deal but clearly something ISNT right and need to be checked out IMMEDIATELY!!! For the people to continue to work here and know things arent right.

Since the moment I drove into the parking lot to meet the ambulance bringing my husband to the I.C.U. here @ Kindred, I felt very welcome. I was greeted by security, which escorted me and my family to the front desk. The receptionist was very professional, and yet caring to our concerns. I was helped with everything necessary to get him admitted. The entire staff has been caring and have gone above and beyond to accomidate not only my husband, but also ME , AND our family. Hector, a RN in the ICU was my favorite. THE BOMB! Although all were GREAT! Since being out of the ICU , my husband has grown fond of Amelia, one of the RNs on the floor. She talks to him and treats him as if we are family. Ms.Annette is a BEAUTIFUL lady and so generously loving! She runs a tight ship and is here for the patients, family, and staff. My case manager, Octavia, and our Ambassador, Pat, are awesome! They stay on point for us. Finally I want to say, upon coming here to Kindred, I was in the dumps with my husband"s progress. I have seen walking and talking miracles this staff has accomplished with their skills. My husband is one! For the staff at Kindred, THANK-YOU for your teamwork and humbleness you share with each other, the patients, and in my case, the FAMILY. This is what it takes to make this healing process a success. FAMILY!!! THANK-YOU ALL!!!

Are you kidding me!?Who ever gave this hospital 5 stars must work there. This hospital has the most unprofessional staff I have ever witnessed. The place is filthy! The staff wont bath patients, feed patients or change linen unless they are told. They directed me to the linen closet and told me I could change the linen. My husband had a breathing tube in his throat and could not move. He also had a feeding tube in his stomach, yet these idiots brought a tray of solid food to his room every day and left it on the dresser. They would come back and ask why he didnt eat. He couldnt talk because he had a tube in his throat, dummy! This is just one of the many displays of neglect and stupidity from this hospital and its staff. If I didnt tell them to give him the tube feedings, he would have died from not being fed at all. The patients that are brought to this hospital can not do anything for themselves! The lack of concern from the staff is disgusting. You must be a voice for your loved ones. Do not allow your insurance company to send you or anyone you know to this pigsty. To the staff at Kindred - SHAME ON YOU for the neglect and hell you put the patients and families through only because YOU CHOOSE to handle yourselves in an unprofessional manner!

This was the worst experience ever! I had an aunt who was in their care and she only stayed as long as she did because of the distance and location. There were a few nurses who were always professional, courteous, and nice but this was outweighed by the unprofessionalism by some of the other staff. I could never get an explanation to why but one day, the staff randomly removed the visitor chairs from my aunts room, which made it very uncomfortable for any of her visitors. The manager at Kindred was extremely rude and very snappy. He had a lot of attitude when approached about any of my concerns and I even witnessed him going back and forth with the family member of another patient. I think it was very unprofessional for him to raise his voice and yell at her in such a public setting. Another incident, but surely not the last, was with Kindreds security guard. I cannot honestly say how the incident started but I have seen him yelling and cursing at a woman, calling her out of her name. I felt this was extremely disrespectful and unprofessional. My overall experience with this facility was terrible and I would not recommend it to anyone.

Experience was horrible!!!!. Husband did not get his meds. Pee was on the dried on the floor from one corner of the room to the other. A large puddle of pee was dried in the corner. Feet actually stuck to floor. The Smell of Urine hit me in the face when I opened the door .Called on my way to Atlanta because my husband called and said he was dizzy. Husband ranged for nurse and was ignored for over an hour. It was 9:30 and they forgot his breakfast and did not give him his insulin. When I arrived at 10:00, they have brought him cold left over food. He still did not receive his insulin. The wall to the left of his bed had blood drops on them. (not my husbands). The outlet on the wall was hanging by a wire. My daughter actually pushed it back in the wall. The cabinets were held together with medical tape. The TVs had an extreme amount of wiring in sockets. Needless to say I signed my husband out and took him back to the emergency room to be re-admitted to the hospital. I have pictures!!! Please if you love your loved on, DO NOT SEND THEM HERE!!!!!! I would not even put my dog here
