From Kindred nursing center residents:

“Nurses”, by Mary Evelyn Lynch, 83

Nurses, nurses,
My beautiful nurses -
How I love you all.
Even though I cannot see,
I can hear your voices ringing.
Sometimes happy, sometimes sad,
And sometimes in between.
I like to name them after flowers.
Mums are my favorite,
And I have a few.
Deep down in my heart,
I know they love me, too.
I like to talk about their lives
And make them laugh and smile.
Jokes are my specialty
And I tell them all the while.
I want to let you know I’m very happy with my wife’s care thus far. I’ve had her in two other facilities and yours is head and shoulders above the others in all areas (care, friendliness, sincere and honest concern, love shown to the clients, and caretakers). It’s a pleasure to know that a nursing home can be operated correctly and the way it should be, full of love, care and concern. I had almost given up on nursing homes till I tried yours. You’re a very special bunch of people and I feel very fortunate to have found you.

From Kindred Hospital patients:

I’ve been in hospitals in West Virginia, Texas, Virginia, and New Mexico. Kindred Hospital puts them all to shame when it comes to all the caring personnel. The facilities are fine, but the people are what make the difference. I’m 88 years old, almost blind and crippled. I have never had finer treatment anywhere!
My mother was a patient at your facility and I am writing to thank everyone there for the excellent care they took of her. Her nurses, nurses’ aides, physical and occupational therapists, respiratory therapists and physicians were kind, caring and thorough. I felt that they knew my mother well and did everything in her best interest. She went through a difficult few weeks in the middle of her stay, but thanks to your staff she was able to recover.

Since I live six hours away, I was not able to be there with my mother every day, but I felt very confident that she was in good, loving hands during her entire stay. Your facility was outstanding in every aspect, and my family, my mother and I all want to express our gratitude to you.
