Pros

very much enjoy the therapy team i work with and appreciate their talent.

Cons

90% productivity expectations are unrealistic and are expected to be obtained through questionable billing practices. these expectations result in significant pressure from management to each therapist/employee to compromise him or herself regarding appropriate management of therapy minutes, reduced quality of care, reduced quality of care. the company does not exhibit a concern for patient treatment/quality of treatment with primary focus being on making money. Documentation system is very antiquated, all documentation is still hand written and is tedious and time consuming. because Kindred and Rehab Care's policy is Point of Care for documentation, patient treatment time is often compromised in lieu of doing all documentation with patients present. Rehab Care/Kindred absolutely use intimidating and verbally aggressive behaviors from management to obtain expected productivity. I would not in good conscience recommend Rehab Care or Kindred as a good company to work for because of the compromising position they put their employees in on a regular basis.

Pros

The people I worked with.

Cons

I can say this now that I no longer work there: Kindred was both one of the best and one of the worst places I've ever worked. On one hand, I learned an incredible amount and gained valuable experience that helped me grow as a nurse. On the other hand, I spent nearly every shift worried about the safety of my nursing license due to what I felt were unsafe staffing ratios, some* poor leadership, and decisions that often seemed driven more by finances than patient care. I repaid my sign-on bonus on March 6, yet I'm now receiving letters claiming the payment was never received and threatening legal action. Fortunately, I have proof that the payment was made. What makes this especially frustrating is that I ultimately left because the stress of working there contributed to serious health issues, including a heart condition. I've attached the resignation letter I submitted when I left, as well as my ECG’s I took from my watch while working that resulted in me going to the ER the next day. Everyone's experience is different, but based on my own experience, I would strongly encourage nurses to do their research before accepting a position with Kindred Hospitals or Scion.
