Kindred Hospital Tarrant County - Fort Worth Southwest

We were referred here by Dr Headstream from Abeline Regional as he specifically wanted us to be admitted to a LTAC hospital. Ever since he was admitted its been a remarkable journey. Its not over yet but we are happy as they have gone above and beyond and have been very diligent in his care. They have demonstrated the perseverance to continue where most places would have give up. Dr Adamo has given us so much hope and inspiration in his care and we truly appreciate everything. Each member of the staff has worked with grace and a great deal of professionalism. Thank you to the entire team. Jan L more

Had excellent care from Kindred and special thanks to my doctor, Dr Daramola for providing great support and treatment. Also wanted to say thank you to the Kindred staff and everyone has been wonderful. So many people to mention and didn't want to single out any particular person so wanted to say thank you to the entire team. George P. more

This is the second time with Kindred and my very first time was around seven years ago. Providence from Waco asked me where I wanted to go and I chose Kindred because I was there before. My experience has always been positive and they always tend to exceed my expectations. Everybody involved from the staff including the insurance has been supportive even the housekeepers. Sandy Davis from the EVS team has gone above and beyond the call of duty in searching out anything that I need including any small request. A blessing indeed. Very impressed with Dr Shashi because she mapped out a plan and if you stick with it and do everything she says, you will be healed and going home very quick. Randy more

The only reason I came to Kindred Southwest is because my social worker at Medical City of Arlington researched who can do in-house HBO and Kindred came up on the list of choices. Once I arrived at Kindred it was a rough landing but the staff was remarkable! Laura and Michael did a great job in the entire transition from one hospital to another. Dr. Kalakunja was fantastic and giving a proper diagnosis and straight to the point care. He was also very focused and affective on the entire process and solution. Noel, one of the nurses did a great job in helping me threw the entire process and big kudos to the HBO team. Also thank you Brandy, Jim, Ski, Lisa, Ashley, Mel and everyone else. TJ Jones more

We came all way from Waco Texas to kindred and it’s been a blessing from the very start. Wanted to thank Kristy from Bluebonnet home health for referring us. And wanted to say thank you to Kendra my husband’s nurse tech for going above and beyond. Everyone I can’t has been fantastic and appreciate all that you have done! Mary Skyora more

Been at Kindred before and it's always a great experience. Joe Hernandez more

Beverly thank you for all that you do. You have been so helpful in making sure that I am completely comfortable. The entire staff has also been very accommodating and makes me feel like a special person and not just a regular patient. Also thank you for following through with all the care that I got. I have been to other hospital over the past few years and this place has been the best. Ginger Whitworth more

I started this pulmonary rehab program in July and at that point, I was using supplemental oxygen 24/7. My lungs were badly compromised and I had been diagnosed with pulmonary fibrosis. I was also recently recovering from a double pneumonia. My neighbor had been through this program twice and she strongly encouraged me to attend. At that point, I wasn't exercising at all because I didn't have the strength to do anything. In addition to exercising, I have received a wealth of education on my disease. I found out that I can do a lot more than what I thought I could do, such as climbing stairs and exercising on the treadmill and the stationary bike for 20-30 minutes at a time. I am now off of oxygen during the day and I have an entire new attitude on doing more things instead of sitting at home and feeling sorry for myself. I think that therapists Tanya, Morgan, Ron and Lanya are very motivating and encouraging. Also, being in a group of patients that are in my condition helps greatly. I have learned so much and I am very grateful for Kindred's pulmonary rehab program! Ida P. more

I had read some things online and I knew that there were some pulmonary rehab programs like this out there but I wasn't exactly sure what to expect. I have to say that I was skeptical at first. Prior to coming here, I wasn't very active. Before I knew it, I was walking up to 1/2 a mile on the treadmill. Now I can't sit around and do nothing anymore. I am much more active and my friends tell me that I look much better. They have a very good thing here and I have benefitted most from the exercise. I love the staff here too. Tanya is great and has a great personality. Morgan is a ray of sunshine and Ron is a very good guy. I really like him. Their follow up is also very good. I had a lung doctor appointment after pulmonary rehab recently and an update of my progress was sent to my doctor within an hour of me leaving here. They also send updates to my primary care doctor and to my cardiologist. I also enjoy the camaraderie here. I feel good encouraging new patients when they start. I would recommend this to anyone in need of pulmonary rehab. Don J. more

I think that this program is very good and the people here are excellent and positive in every respect. Tanya, Ron, Morgan and Lanya deserve all the recognition. They are always upbeat and they keep you motivated by congratulating you on your daily accomplishments. I didn't know much about pulmonary rehab but I heard about this program though my neighbor who completed it and couldn't say enough good things about it. I also met other patients here that had been to other pulmonary rehab programs and they told me that this is the best one. When you get to be my age, you realize that society is not what it used to be. People involved in providing services used to be a lot friendlier and you just don’t see that very much anymore. The people at Kindred are an exception. Everyone from the receptionist to the employees you meet in the hallway are all very friendly and welcoming. The bottom line is what they did for me. I improved my walking distance by 125% from when I first started and that says it all. Bob G. more

A bunch of great people working at Kindred. Made me feel right at home and appreciate all the love and care. Robert, Ron, Linda, Nancy, Mack, Allan and Terri are super fantastic people. If I had to come back to any hospital, Kindred is my first choice. Suzan Hammer more

This place has been outstanding. I'm going to hate not coming here anymore but I only have 6 more visits left and I will be done with the program. I wish I had 30 more! I was in pretty bad shape when I started coming here so I told my doctor that I needed some kind of rehab and he recommended Kindred Pulmonary Rehab. I knew what COPD was but I didn't know what to do about it. When I first came here, I had no idea what to expect. I assumed that it was going to be a classroom setting but then I saw that there was also exercise equipment here and and I was glad that I decided to come. I've exercised for most of my life but I found myself doing less and less due to my COPD. I began speaking with other patients and they all told me about their experiences with COPD. I was also having terrible coughing spells and I couldn't get rid of them. Tanya recommended a CPT vest and they even set me up with one that I could use at home. My cough has gotten much better since I started using that machine. I was also on continuous oxygen when I started here and now I find myself using less oxygen when I walk long distances, sometimes not using any at all. The therapists here are all great. Tanya, Morgan, Ron and Alfred are easy to talk to and they are truly concerned about my well being. I would highly recommend this program to anybody that has a respiratory condition. Reach out to them and seek some assistance. I did and I feel so much better! Marshall H. more

The best part about this pulmonary rehab program by far is the staff. Morgan and Tanya are great therapists and they deserve a big raise! This has been very beneficial for me and has gotten me up and moving. When I was diagnosed with COPD, it was very scary and maddening because although I used to smoke, I had quit 20 years ago. It's very daunting when you first hear this news. My shortness of breath was getting worse and my pulmonologist, Dr. Pender, recommended that I try pulmonary rehab. I asked if there was something in the southwest area of Fort Worth and he told me that Kindred Fort Worth Southwest offered this service. I soon received a call from Tanya and I began attending these classes. I looked around at the rest of the patients here and I saw that I wasn't alone. This was very encouraging and motivated me to do something. I was extremely impressed from the very beginning and everything here is very well done. The staff takes things very seriously but they make it very fun. I gradually realized that I was getting better and I know that my condition would never have improved this much if I had not done this. All of the patients here benefit tremendously from this program. One of the patients here was on oxygen when I started and he has gotten to the point where he does not need it anymore. I am almost done with my classes but I wish that I could keep coming here. I would love for there to be a maintenance program! more
