I came to Kindred Santa Ana into the ICU unit after a heart transplantation and an infection. I was in the ICU and it was intense annd hard to deal with, but being the person that I am i overcame all of the obsticles that I had including multiple infections and the inability to stand or walk or even sit at the side of the bed. I was barely eating . The staff all worked together to stimulate me enough that I was able to move to the next level. The first person I met was James from rehab, he started to work with me even though I wasn't a very good patient. I just couldn't seem to recover fast enough. I then started to work with other members of the rehab staff, and working with such different people with different speciaties made a huge difference in my recovery. Every day was more chaklenging than thenext, but I never have up, and the team never gave up on me. I received more rehab rhan I eer thought I would in my life, and I want to thank the main force behind it all the one who had the biggest influence on me AnnMarie the Patient Advocate she went above and beyond the call to assist in my recovery and I am truly greatful for her and the rehab staff especially Dennis, Raul, Carlo, Delia and James.The nursing staff was really good, and I was able to overcome my infections, and with the help of the rehab staff I was able to leave Kindred able to walk.
