Kindred Hospitals reviews

The facility does not have the freedom to make its own decisions, the facility is very micro-managed. 'Everyone" knows that each facility is very unique and corporate should be able to take this into account when making decisions on how to run it. Employees, from housekeeping to management, should be heard and opinions should be taken very seriously. These are the people who are actually in the day to day running of the facility; who know what is best for the patients and staff. (Some) Corporate and (some) senior management people are very quick to point out what is wrong/ what has not been done, but very slow to commend staff on their efforts. They come in like they are god, no smiles or words of encouragement. The staff comment on this all the time, and they wonder why they are still there----and they answer their own question----they love their patients and the people they work "with".

Lack of team work and communication HIGH EMPLOYEE TURN OVER RATES heavy work loads DEMANDING TO MUCH OF TOO FEW EMPLOYEES upper management refuses to listen to staff who are in close contact with the patients daily assuming if you don't have a degree or LPN, RN, PHD LICENSE ETC. that you are highly incapable of knowing somethings need to be adressed on investigated
