Pale shadow of former best-place-to-work - Anonymous employee Kindred Hospitals Employee Review

Management, flexibility, internal staff, physician relationships

Not to many cons at all

- Patient population provides excellent sense of purpose and accomplishment

Prospective clinicians should exercise extreme caution before accepting a position at this facility. During my time here, I experienced a severe lack of administrative and clinical support during a critical patient safety event. ​When I advocated for a patient whose acuity had clearly escalated beyond the capabilities of the current unit, management repeatedly refused to facilitate a higher acuity unit transfer. This left me to manage a dangerously unstable clinical situation almost entirely alone, directly compromising patient safety and creating an environment ripe for adverse events. ​Rather than offering support and conducting a constructive review of the system failures that led to this stress, administration chose to retaliate. When I took time off to process the intense distress caused by their clinical negligence, management and administration marred my professional record with false accusations regarding my performance and attendance. ​This facility does not support its frontline staff, ignores critical patient escalation needs, and uses retaliatory tactics to cover up administrative shortfalls. I highly recommend all patients, referral sources, and clinicians, look elsewhere if they value their license and mental well-being.
