They care about the residents and the family memebers
Dietary Head Cook (Former Employee), Kokomo, IN – May 20, 2013
This is a great place and I loved my job there, it was such a good feeling to make someone happy with a breakfast they ask for. It was the little things I could do that made me feel good about working here. Management was full of cheer and had little negative things to say.

Overall a nice facility.
Certified Nursing Assistant (Former Employee), Tampa, FL – May 18, 2013
My typical day at work was okay. I gained a great deal a patience at this facility: I also have a new appreciation for people with disabilities. The management well some was fair and others not so much so, but that's with any company you work in. My co-workers were great. The hardest part of the job I had was dealing death of our residents. I loved – more... making the family members and residents smile. – less

I cared for the elderly and did my best to give them the best care
R.N./ Infection Control/Utilization Coordination (Former Employee), Harrodsburg, KY – May 12, 2013
Pros: rewarding to care for the pts. and make my supervisor happy
Cons: too many overtime hours from employees not showing up for work
A typical day would be to start out assessing the pts. before my shift started to see what condition they were in., I had good co-workers, they mostly performed the way they were told to care for the pts, my DON was a nice person and gave me compliments on my performance and dedication to my job. I learned that just one person that has multiple job – more... duties can't do it alone to care for pts., it takes the whole staff to do a great job, making pts. and family happy and my supervisor happy was the best part of my job, the worst part of my job was to go in on a daily basis and have to fix problems and that should have been taken care of from the previous shift. – less

Terrible
RT (Former Employee), Sugar land – May 9, 2013
Cons: everything!
Its not a good place to work or a safe place for pts. They have a new CCO who exposes herself with tight dresses who has no management skills and who got the job bc she knows people. There are so many terrible things that happen at kindred bc the people who work there are incompetent...unsafe for everyone.

Worst job I've ever had !
LPN (Former Employee), Maryville,TN – May 9, 2013
Cons: overworked, understaffed, terrible benefits, no raises
Kindred is a terrible company to work for, they have zero respect for their employees, benefits are awful, insurance is very high and terrible coverage. The turnover rate is outrageous, the worst of any healthcare facility I've ever worked for. Nobody wanted to stay for very long, some didn't even last a day. The admin. staff are rude and disrespectful – more... , don't do anything but smoke and gossip all day while nurses on the floor are so overworked you can't even take your lunch. I never learned anything new here, I actually begged for new courses, promised I would get new training but it never happened. There was nothing good about this job and I really mean nothing. The hardest part was the work load and lack of staff. I would starve in the streets before I worked for them again. They have frozen raises for 3 years with no sign of them lifting the freeze. They just don't care...about residents or employes. – less

Professional atmosphere in critical care setting
PRN Staff Pharmacist (Former Employee), Tampa, FL – May 8, 2013
Pros: very professional staff
Cons: cafeteria food
While my time was short at Kindred, staff seemed very cooperative, which was needed in a highly specialized and very serious environment. Duties were of a staff pharmacist in hospital, which means doing everything from order entry to IV admixtures to Narcotic dispensing

nurse00008 – May 19, 2013

seems that way in more facilities. An employee is just filling a position. The immediate management does not really care about the employee. The turnover rate is high. It is sad. If an employee looses their jobs over write ups it is difficult to find another position anywhere. I worked as a supervisor and seen many employees loose thier job. The ones that break my heart are the ones that are very hard workers and have families to support. The nurses cnas that had maternity leave were terminated months after coming back. I hope that they all find new jobs.

Worst place I have ever worked
Clinician (Former Employee), Sycamore, Illinois – May 8, 2013
Pros: easy parking
Cons: poor management, patient load incredible, not patient focued
The night shift supervisor hated me at the onset. Nothing I could do would please him. He is Gay and I am not. Gave me 3 times the patient load leaving others with nothing to do. Management is a bunch of back stabbing jerks. There was nothing enjoyable part of the job. I had worked at other Kindred Hospitals in Chicago, but the Sycamore Hospital really – more... sucked. – less

Interesting and fun place to work
Activity Assistant (Former Employee), Tucson, AZ – May 7, 2013
Pros: staff, knowing the new patients is a plus
Cons: short lunch breaks
Every morning starts with the morning meeting, we discuss what to expect for the up and coming day. Admissions starts with a tour of the building to ensure all rooms are presentable for the arrival of a new patient. While touring the building stop by and say hello to the current residents to see how they are doing. If any questions or concerns arise – more... take it upon myself to get them handled in a timely manner. Began working the faxes from hospitals and return any calls that have come in. ensure any new admissions are settled in may sure they have received proper meals if they arrive late. Get the necessary paperwork signed. – less

Great place to work for those interested in inpatient care.
PRN Physical Therapist (Current Employee), Orange Park, FL – May 7, 2013
Pros: occasional free lunch and snacks; coins for safety
Cons: none!
My typical day as a PRN therapist begins with logging into handheld time recording device along with inputting pt's to be seen that day. I work mostly independent with occasional assist from aides with more complicated pt's. Safety is priority! I work anywhere from 4-7 hours a day. I love the challenge of working with inpatient pt's and making sure – more... that they get the best care possible in order to return back home or to a location of their chosing for further care. Management and co-workers are great and very supportive of any needs. The hardest part of this job is seeing or hearing that a pt. expired that you have treated and become close to. On the other hand, it is great to see those who improve and are able to leave the facility and become functionally independent again. – less
