Kindred Healthcare Employer Reviews

COOKED MEALS ACCORDING TO CLIENTS DIETARY NEEDS. DIDNT REALLY LEARN MUCH. MANAGEMENT WAS HORRIBLE. HARDEST PART WAS TRYING TO KEEP EVERYONE HAPPY AND OFF YOUR BACK WHILE YOU DID YOUR BEST TO STICK TO THE SCHEDULE. MOST ENJOYABLE PART WAS TALKING WITH PATIENTS AND COWORKERS AND MEETING NEW PEOPLE

My patients inspire me to continue with specializing in customer service

Kindred was a wonderful experience.....don't get me wrong it had its ups and downs ....but mostly ups. A typical day was never typical....lol. The patients there were very acute and usually had multiple diagnoses....many of the patients came directly from either the hospital's icu unit or other nearby hospital's critical care units..
The most enjoyable – more... part of the job was my coworkers....I met some of the best healthcare workers i have ever worked with.....these people worked hard. They just didn't seem to feel appreciated and therefore moral was slacking at times....but they tried to make the best of it. – less

co-workers very pleasant team players
very busy floor

Overall this is a great company to work for and I thoroughly have enjoyed it; however, I am seeking professional growth which can not be offered by this company at this time. I currently recruit clinical and management positions for 8 facilities. I love what I do and have learned a lot. I am ready to apply my learned skills to an organization that offers – more... growth. – less

Relatively laid back environment with close knit employee and physician networking.

Was hired to do a job that I had no background in and was giving NO TRAINING - finally they had someone from a different building come in to show me how to order supplies. When they got there I had no computer passwords. When I would ask for help I received none what so ever. On day 17 they gave me a written warning for not have the supplies needed – more... and not doing my job. Needless to say I quit. What a joke of a place to work no wonder they can keep help. – less

I love the people I work with, but there is no room for growth and advancement in the current position I am in.

Approxiamtly 20-25 portable xrays on ventilator patients. CT on an as needed basis which is usually 3-4 a day.

This is an extremely busy hospital, but I loved it. Its amazing to watch someone who is ventilator dependant and be able to wean off of it within weeks. You have to be on your toes at all times and be ready to go into rescue mode at any moment. I loved it!

Kindred was the first place I was hired on after obtaining my CNA certification. The atmosphere was great, and I learned a good deal about time management, patient care, and using technology to maintain patient information.

I worked at Kindred Healthcare for over a year.

It was a good opportunity for me as I was fresh out of college. I got some good office experience and met a lot of wonderful people.

I eventually had to leave in order to relocate but I was sad to leave.

Kindred is a great place to work. Facility offers great education experiences and schooling for nurses. Limited time I have been employed I have learned an extended amount regarding ventilators and wound care. Management has an open door policy and are fairly easy to talk to. Co-workers are great team players, everyone (for the most part) helps out – more... with one another. Hardest part of the job is the challenging cases that we get. Even though we have challenging cases, it is enjoyable because learning is an everyday occurrence. – less

Kindred Healthcare is a great corporation. In working with this company I've had the opportunity to grow in my middle and upper management experience; my educational goals were supported and attained; managers are supportive and give autonomy to those who deserve it. The most enjoyable part of working for Kindred is knowing I'm always heard. The most – more... difficult part of working for Kindred is not feeling as if my successes will translate into growth with Kindred. – less

I DONT KNOW WHO IS WRITING THESE REVIEWS, BUT IF YOU WORK IN THE HOUSTON AREA KINDREDS THEY ARE HORRIBLE. THEY DONT HAVE ENOUGH STAFF YOU MAY GET UP TO 8-9 PATIENTS WHO HAVE ALOT OF CHRONIC ILLNESS, THEY ARE EITHER TOTAL CARE OR PAIN MANAGEMENT. IT IS TRULY DANGEROUS!!!

Hired as Receptionist for 90 day then advanced to Accounts Payables position. Was trained for the new position and learned a lot. My coworkers we all worked as a team in the Finance office to get the job done.

Felt like I was risking my license working there. Had a huge pt load which resulted in having to do things quickly without giving the utmost in pt care. When I asked questions about pt care i.e "What if this happens?" (being an emergent situation) I was told "just go get another RT". Some of the people I worked with were great and that's probably the – more... only pro I can speak of. Definitely saw that they are a for-profit organization. – less

Hardest job youll ever love. excellent coworkers, make a great team.

You work really hard. When you get to work the day flies by. You are so busy. You have about half the nursing staff that will help you with anything then the other half will not help with anything and it is frustrating. The office staff monday through friday will come up and help answer lights and pass the lunch trays and help any way they can. I hope – more... they know how much that helps us out and allows us more time taking care of our patients. Over all it is a good place to be. – less

Can be seen as being a very hard atmosphere to work at but is also rewarding due to seeingso many patient coe to a full recovery
