Kindred Hospitals reviews

- Management completely out of touch with the day-to-day operations and conflicts being a therapist in a SNF/LTC facility -Productivity trumps promoting quality care at the end of the day. Regular mandatory "inservices" on ethical practice, yet the company doesn't practice what they preach. Point-of-care documentation? Not feasible for quality, patient-centered treatment. -Post-PDPM, company pushes for group treatments - Red flag! - Sub-par health benefits package - Company let go of majority of PRN staff, instructs full-time staff to drive an upwards of 2 hours to other facilities that need help when that facility's census gets high. - Upper management implements new policies, middle management and the therapists finally get the memo 2 weeks to months later. - Do I even need to mention CEO's multi-million salary when the company has had a "wage freeze" in place for the treating therapists for at least 2 years? Many of my coworkers haven't had a single raise in 5 years. If you threaten to leave, if you are LUCKY you may get a marginal one. - No performance reviews. - Therapists putting in their two weeks notice, then middle management groveling on their knees and offering significant raises in response. And then they want to ask how your non-existent performance review went....

High acuity patients. Nurse to patient ratio is too high. Bad management. Very high staff turnover. A core group of employees who bully the rest of the staff and have set their own rules/regulations for Kindred. No accountability or consequences. Nurses who are so overwhelmed they have given up: they just sit at the nurses station and play on their phones. Or leave the facility to go to starbucks. Meds don't get passed. Some days there are no Techs on the floor.
