Kindred Hospital Clear Lake

The stay was as good as it could have been. I would rather have been on a beach, but this was not that bad. Everyone was personable and appeared to do everything they could to ensure my stay was as good as possible. That includes both care givers and administrative personnel. Questions that were asked along the way, were all answered to my satisfaction. The complications I perceived I was experiencing, the people in physical and occupational therapy were more than happy to help me find solutions to rectify the problem including reviewing my insurance list of available doctors in the area. They made recommendations as to who they thought I should follow up with. The nurse practitioners have always gone to the point of explaining everything and anything. It came across to me that the professional staff here have all been above average as far as I am concerned. Their treatment of the patients, myself and others I came in contact with, were exceptional. They physical therapy group made available to me, the equipment I could use to exercise the unaffected top half of my body. I also enjoyed participating in the patient cartoon cation contest. Including myself and other patients with extracurricular activities in the hospital gave me a feeling of inclusion within the hospital. Everybody did the functions of their jobs, but also all of them interacted with me. They took a real interest in me as a person, not just another patient. Everyone I came into contact with more than exceeded my expectations of their function. Nothing more to say other than comments about the food. Hospital food is what it is...but they did their best. The fresh fruit and vegetables that were used in meal preparation was greatly appreciated, but they cant do a medium rare steak! Lance Beauchamp more

The first time I went to this facility was before hurricane Rita when it was still Triumph. But I still choose to go back there when I need long term acute care, because they teat me like family. Even my own family members go there when they need to. My cousin, my brother, and my mother in law and sister come here when they need medical care. We all have had good care here and feel its a good hospital to go to. The nurses are always courteous and explain things to me when they come in. They always remember me too. There is a big difference in care from this hospital to Clear Lake Hospital. Rehab here is excellent! They got me back on my feet and walking again. Truly, the unit secretary is one of my favorites. She is so good. She is nice and helpful and always smiling. She helps explain things to me and helps the nurses and CNA's when they are tied up with other patients. They have a patient advocate named Amanda that always checks on me. She is always working hard for the patients and running around making sure things are going good. She helped me get in touch with the right people when I had questions or concerns. We have become good friends over time. The nurses were always good too. If there was a problem they were very quick to resolve it. My Case Manager, Connie, helped me with a lot too. She helped find a place for me to discharge to and get my walker to take home. My Dr. Sahebkar was real good. She oversaw everything and she worked good with my Dr. Guidry for wound care. They got my wound healed. Dr. Wang, my heart doctor, was able to come see me here too. That was very convenient. The facility is very nice. Its big and clean and very accommodating. They are just like the regular hospital, except they don't have a morgue if someone passes, they don't have an operation rooms. If you are faced with the choice of where to go for extended care, you should try Kindred Clear Lake. I think you will have the same experience. more

I transferred to Kindred Clear Lake from Clear lake regional for advanced wound care. The rooms are big and you have a nice color TV. The nurses are nice as they can be. If you need extra supplies like blankets they will get them for you right away. The meals are good. Some of them taste home cooked. Even between meals if you are hungry they will bring you snacks in between. They had a large variety of sandwiches and snacks to offer. They have physical therapist that come to see you when you are ready for it or they take you to the gym. They have hyperbaric treatment that helped heal my foot with oxygen. They let you make decisions about your health care and treatments. You are never stuck with the same nurse. They change it up so your not stuck with the same person and if you request it, they will re-assign someone else. I never had to, but they told me they could if I need to. They were all sweet or helpful. The nurses seem more like doctors around here. They have a lot of knowledge! The bathrooms are big too! No tubs though, just showers. I liked the warm up light so it want freezing when I got out of the shower. There is nothing wrong with this place. ~John Hutchins more
