I was at the hospital when Dr. Loya came to see me. He told me about Kindred and that they could provide my wound care. My sister, who is a nurse, looked them up online for more information and saw that they had good reviews, so we agreed to the transfer. Even the ambulance driver told me I was going to one of the best places around here. But I still didn't know what to expect when I got there. I was surprised at the warm welcoming when I arrived, and it didn't stop there. I have had the best care since. EVERYONE came to see me and welcome me. They were all over me like ants coordinating my care with every department! They gave me all the information I needed and told me what to expect from the start. The nurses welcomed me and were so helpful with everything. The place was always so nice and clean too. The unit secretary, Truly, always helped out and took care of me. She made sure I was always comfortable and had what I needed. If I needed my nurse she got them for me, if I needed my tech, she would buzz them to let them know I needed them. She would keep me stocked with my daily order of drinks and snack and ice. She always remembered what I like. We had a lot of good laughs. I had a good time joking around with all the staff. My wound care nurses were hysterical and took great care of my wound. Its hard to believe how far it has come along. I was always comfortable in their hands. I learned that this place was a real hospital with good people that provided great care. I'm so happy Dr. Loya introduced me to this place and I'm happy that he was able to continue seeing me at Kindred. If I have to go back to the hospital this will be my first choice. They know how to make the best of a bad situation! Kimberly Pilkington
