I've been at Kindred Arlington many times over the past ten years. Every time I need to go to a long term facility I aways ask to come here. They provide the best care in all of the health care system.
They have nice nurses, hard working aides and a great Rehab department. They also have a truthful and good nutritionist. I have lost almost 200 lbs in the past few years! I contribute my success a lot to the education I've received here at Kindred. The dietitian is wonderful.
When I first came here one of the nurses told me I was in such bad shape because of my weight. He motivated me and gave me spiritual guidance. He gave me a personal example of his own life that really affected me. I will never forget his kindness. He told me that he had been overweight too. And his life was so much better once he lost weight. It was due to his testimony, the doctors and nutritionist honesty that encouraged me to change my life. They are the reason I'm still alive today. I have some hills to climb, but I'm going to make it.
I like the doctors here. They really listen and work with you on getting well. They give more than just two seconds of their time. They know me and respect me.
I also enjoy the compassion shown by nurses, therapists, administration and the chaplain that comes to visit. I always have someone to talk to here. You can get a chaplain at any time. And administration comes to visit me often. They are all like family and have gotten me thru some difficult times. Most hospitals will not go to that extent for their patients.
In the health care system, there are big problems in administration. You need to be somewhere with good administration and social workers. Kindred Arlington is that place. That is why I always insist on coming here. The people in administration get involved because they care. You can tell they care about their patients. My sister always calls Amanda directly when I need long term care. I give glory to God that I am always welcome here!
