All of the nurses have been great. CNA's as well. Jessica stands out as one of my favorite nurses. They have all been very kind and caring. The food was good! Wound care was amazing. Mia was always available and has a great attitude. She took her time with me and explained step by step what she was doing for me. I feel comfortable going home because Mia educated me on how to care for my appliance. Dr. Mohammed was so patient with me and always willing to take the time to speak with my husband and answer all of our questions. Jaime and Sam from pharmacy would make a point to stop and chat with me every time they brought my medications. Jaime was also very good about educating me on what all of my medications are and what they do for me. Paul and Glessing from OT were great! They helped me with just about anything I needed and got me up and moving..... My room was always nice and clean and quiet. Visiting hours are very open which was also very important to me. I got to see my husband every day! I had never heard of an LTACH before so my husband and I did some research and found Kindred Clear Lake and I am so glad we did!
I have been treated very very well. Far beyond my expectations! I have had attentive, gentle care. Everyone here does so much more than just their job! They are all so observant and responsive and you can tell they really care. The food has been excellent. Meal times are realistic and the food is always warm. Each of my care givers from the nurses to the CNA's have been amazing in their own way and I cannot say enough about how much I appreciate their care! This was my first experience at an LTACH so I was a little bit unsure of what to expect but now that I have been here and seen everything they have done for me I cant say enough about how great my stay has been!
This is a 5 star facility! I know a lot of people here and I've known about Kindred 25 years. All my good doctors come here which are all factors that helped me choose Kindred! Joe in therapy stands out. She is an early person that comes to see me in the morning which works best for me. Larry from therapy is the BEST OT for me. He is so friendly and happy. That reflects in my stay. When he opens the door, you can see the light! It gave me so much strength. I used to have so much pain that I could not walk. Now my pain level is 60% better. I want to commend nurses Michelle my night nurse. She will go above and beyond her role and help where ever its needed. Even helping the C.N.A duties. I did not like working with Vella as much. She wasn't on time with my medications like the others were. Everyone else has been so good. I wish I could mention all their names, but this would be too long!
I attended Kindred Clearlake. Housekeeping dietary doctors and physical therapist were great. They had my care lined out and my daily itenerary with tests exams and blood work ready for each day. If I had physical therapy they worked me into the schedule and the instructors were prompt to start the therapy session. At first they analyzed my limits to see what I was able to do and what I was in here for. Then later we would work together for 2 hours give or take. It was like having my own personal trainer. He would oversee me to make sure I was working to the best of my ability without exceeding my limits. The team of doctors that oversaw my recovery were very attentive and managed my recovery very well. The wound care nurses and doctors would see me every 24 hours to check my wounds and bandages to monitor and prevent infection. Sheri the nurse was quick to recognize that I wasn't thrilled with my diet and offered me Boost supplements. They ended up improving my nutrition and lab scores. She is always attentive and people friendly with great customer service. She makes me feel informed and relaxed. If it was up to me I'd stay here to complete my entire treatment plan. I'll choose to come back for future services if needed.
I wondered if everyone was screened when they hired on because it seemed that everyone had such a caring spirit from the minute I walked in. All of the nurses have been concerned about my care and my recovery. The nurses and techs watched over my care closely and made sure I got things timely. Nurse Comfort was always proactive and showed up right on time. Heather would work with me on the weekends. She helped care for me physically, mentally and emotionally. She was always there for me and I appreciate her. In fact, every nurse that I had were great, but those two stand out the most. The therapy team, Glesson and Paul could tell when I needed to get out of my room and go outside. They would take me out for fresh air. They made me feel like people really cared. Housekeeping, dietary, and every other department has been courteous and kind. I never thought a hospital stay could be such a blessing. If I ever had to be in a hospital for an extended amount of time, this is the place!
You are making a wise choice by going to Kindred Clear Lake. My experience has been outstanding. They work as a team and are friendly in every way. Staff go out of there way to be helpful. From the cafe staff all the way to the head nurse and administrators they do whatever it takes to make sure you are comfortable and have a good stay. There were many employees that stand out. Janie, Sharon, Anna in ICU, Kay in Respiratory were all so friendly. They came to me and befriended me in a time that I really needed it. Alma spent some very rough nights with me and she stayed so calm the entire time which helped me relax. I knew she knew what she was doing and I could trust that I would be taken care of. Victor is such a delight. There is never a time he doesn't have a smile. The therapy team is superb. Larry and I came up with a plan and set up goals. He explained that they work as a team and was very reassuring that anyone on the team could get me where I needed to go. Katy, Paul, and Aaron were all fantastic and are extremely knowledgeable in their field. There is power in prayer and Janeth recognized that I needed a different kind of support from someone else. She took time out to pray with me. That was a pick me up and made me realize that prayer works and there are many out there fighting battles worse than ours. My list goes on and on too long to list them all. I have made progress here and I'm ready to go to the next step. Just like Ellen says on her show everyday, "Be kind to one another." That's what I've found here.
It's a great place to go to. I notice good team work with the nurses and all departments. I have no complaints. They have been good to me. If something I needed wasn't available they found a way to make it available. I highly recommend anyone to come here for hospital care and rehab care. I was at my lowest when I arrived and they nursed me back to health. I have come a long way. I'm so thankful. Thank God and thank everybody at Kindred Clear Lake.
I have been to countless hospitals and I have never ever experienced the level of care, kindness and compassion that I have here. From doctors, nurses, all the way to housekeepers, they have been wonderful. I would recommend this place to anyone! They are just so friendly and eager to care for their patients. You can tell they really care about you, as a person. Of all the other hospitals I've gone to this place stands out, because you can tell the staff truly care about the patients. The doctors do too. Dr. Eisenberg has great bedside manner, he is very attentive and personable. He explained everything along the way and even referred me to another doctor outside the hospital that I can keep seeing who has a similar bedside manner. That meant a lot to me. Dr. Eisenberg and the house doctor even went out of their way to check on my wife to assure her heath was taken care of when she was visiting me. Dr. Eisenberg is the best doctor I've ever had in my entire life and one of the neatest people I've ever met. If anyone is in need for long term acute care, Kindred Clear Lake is the place to go.
I have hope again, that I can get some independence back. Now I know I can have some type of normal life again. When I first came to Kindred I could not walk and wasn't eating, because I couldn't keep anything down. After working with the rehab team I'm hungry all the time! Being more active has kept my appatite up and built my strength up and I can finally walk again. I never thought I would. It makes me happy to have hope again. I look forward to continuing my recovery. The case manager is trying to find a good facility that works with my insurance company for me to continue my rehab recovery. Initially when I came here I was scared, because I didnt know what to expect. I was missing home and worried about being in the hospital during the holidays. Now I'm okay. I'm even okay with staying a few extra days if it comes down to it.
I could not recommend a better hospital. They have good nursing and doctors care. When you call for a nurse you will get immediate care. I don't spend a long time waiting around for help. The doctors I have here pay attention to my every need. Dr. Armstrong gave me his phone number! Any time I have a question for the doctor, I know he will be there for me. They have excellent food service. The breakfast is excellent and fresh. They serve real eggs, real bacon, grits, sausage, there are many options that I like. Lunches and suppers are also excellent. Luby's has been serving Kindred since I've been here and they have always done an excellent job. The rehab and wound care services have also been excellent. Their attitude, the way the treat you, and care for you makes a difference. Their ability to meet your needs have been first class. If you have a family member or friend that needs long term care, Kindred Clear Lake is an excellent choice. I am completely satisfied.
