From a Kindred Hospital Patient

I’ve been in hospitals in West Virginia, Texas, Virginia, and New Mexico. Kindred Hospital puts them all to shame when it comes to all the caring personnel. The facilities are fine, but the people are what make the difference. I’m 88 years old, almost blind and crippled. I have never had finer treatment anywhere! – Mildred E.

From Kindred Hospital Patients

“I would like to thank all staff members who took care of my father. As an RN I truly appreciated the excellent care he was given and the willingness to answer my questions. As a daughter, I thank you for the little things like talking to him and playing his CD’s for him. He is in a better place now. You helped to make his last date better.”

“Dear Staff: Thank you so much for the wonderful care you gave our loved one. You made this extremely difficult time a little easier. The way you cared for her was such a blessing. It gave us great peace to know that when we weren’t there you were. We are forever grateful.”

To a Kindred Angel

The Angel Care Program at Kindred Hospital Brea focuses extra attention on our patients and their family members. The Angel is a member of our staff who will be an advocate during the patient’s stay with us. This letter was sent to “Angel ” Joyce Weinstein, Manager of HIM, from her patient who also grew up in New York.

“Your smiling face and positive words of encouragement will never be forgotten. I am doing well and have lots of help with Health Nurse and PT. Meals on Wheels is great. Slow progressing but getting there. When I’m up to it we’ll have that get together and lunch. Thanks again for the coffee.”
