Kindred Hospital Tarrant County - Fort Worth Southwest - Fort Worth (TX)

5 /5 Joel Nabors: My wife has been at this facility for several months now (three different admissions). The care she has received has been very good. Without mentioning names, from the nursing staff to the Techs to the respiratory department, the physical therapy & occupational therapy, and even the dietary department have all contributed greatly to her recovery. The attending doctors assigned to our case have been attentive, detailed, and caring. We have appreciated the balanced approach to healing and recovery. We have not only gleaned from the professionalism but also made new friends with several of these individuals.

4 /5 Dyanna Espinoza: Kindred is really a good place to go to when needing extra care. The staff was really friendly and care about you, and the reason why one is, there for, they make you as comfortable as possible and go out of there way to make you feel safe. Thank you for the great job in taking care of me.

3 /5 Joann Rodriguez Ayala: We stayed on the 2nd floor for over 2 weeks with my mom. Sam, Marcus and Douglas were AMAZING and the extra effort they put in to making my mom and I feel comfortable, safe and welcome deserves real acknowledgement (and a RAISE). It wouldnt have been the same stay without them and we are so appreciative and grateful for them. Overall however there is a sense of disconnect between departments, doctors and nurses. Seemingly simple questions couldnt get answered in a timely manner most days. There did not seem to be a huge sense of urgency with anything. I do feel however that this hospital is understaffed and lacking resources of all kinds which could be contributing to the situation.

4 /5 Crystal Darden: Came here after my husband suffered a massive stroke. He couldn’t speak the first 2 weeks we were here and they were pretty attentive. Of course there were some nurses that were not as good as the others. Overall they all did a good job taking care of him. We are very appreciative of all they have done for him. Night nurse Macy on the ICU floor was absolutely amazing! She takes pride in her job and really cares for her patients. Nurse tech Hilda on floor 2 was absolutely amazing. She remembered every time that my husbands left hip was in pain and she made sure that whoever was helping her change him knew as well and was careful with him. She did a very thorough job. Always made sure he was clean and comfortable! PT Mark and OT Jasmine were both so great. They always lightened the mood with their bright personalities. They also made sure my husband knew he was doing a good job. Latrella was another one that stood out to me. She made sure she stayed on my husband for his own good. She was very nice with it but she made sure he was doing what he needed to get moving around again.

3 /5 Randi Kitchens: Mixed emotions with Kindred. My dad was transferred to Encompass, which I am so thankful for so he was able to leave kindred. Personally felt that my dad could have been treated better under their care at times. I’ll never forget the time I walked in and he had been ringing his bell (nurse bed buttons were not working) and had been trying to get ice and water since 12pm. I had showed up about 4 pm and I myself had to walk to the nurse station and wait for a nurse to come see what I needed. He had absolutely nothing to drink. The many times his lien wasn’t changed, the times he had a bowl moment/ urine and was responsible for deposing of it himself in the trash can right next to his bed 85% of the time. Mind you he wasn’t not able to walk or get out of bed on his own. I’m thankful for a few things kindred did, the trach they did, and 3 ICU nurses who gave me some little bit of hope. & I think about those 3 everyday and can’t thank them enough for all they did and how well they communicated with me. The saddest part is I’ve never heard anything positive about kindred from the people i personally knew around me. Thought there is no way. Until i experienced it myself first hand. I know my father wasn’t the easier patient, but even the circumstances I understand why he felt and acted the way he did at times. I did report my issues to the chief clinical officer. I just hope in the future for future patients they will hear what I’ve said in this review and try to better moving forward. I know all healthcare workers have more than one patient to take care of & how challenging it can be. One last thing I want to point out- my dad constantly complained his bed was uncomfortable and was sitting on a board/ a hole in his bed. Nobody listened. The day he was transferred the sheets were removed and you could see the hole/ and feel how hard that spot was he was sitting on. I saw it with my own eyes. I personally thank kindred for most of the things they did- but I don’t think I would let my father go back if something were to happen in the future due to the few small but big to me that happened during his stay.
