The Kindred staff were very understanding and helpful in planning my recovery. They explained what would be needed from me to reach the next level of recovery that I would need before discharging home. The bedside nursing staff is excellent. A number of them were above average, one of those was Susan. There were many others, but she comes to mind first. She gave me print outs about the ailments I was being treated for to educate me about my condition. She cares a lot about educating her patients and provides them extra knowledge. It made me feel like she really cared about me as an inddividual. Even when she wasnt assigned as my nurse, she would still recognize me in the halls or check on me to see how I was doing. The nursing aides on the average, were very good and helpful when I asked for help. In my recovery plan I also had physical therapy and occupational therapy sessions. They were seperate teams with different therapist. Some where better at explaining what you were reaching for and how well you were progressing than others. Stephanie in occupational therapy was excellent in explaining my goals each day, and what we would be reaching for the next day. That gave me a target to reach for. Overall I would recommend Kindred Clear Lake as a hospiital to go to for any type of recovery needs.
