Debbie's Success Story

Following an emergency brain surgery, Miguel came to Kindred Hospital Brea for rehabilitation. He made excellent progress and was able to discharge home with the support of home health services.

After experiencing respiratory failure, a heart attack, heart failure, and myasthenia gravis, Deanna was transferred to Kindred Hospital for respiratory care and rehabilitation before progressing to an acute rehabilitation facility.

Arthur experienced complications related to a cardiac intervention. He required a ventilator and was transferred to Kindred for weaning. His recovery was interrupted by a stroke, but he continued to progress and was able to advance to Kindred's acute rehabilitation unit.

After undergoing triple bypass surgery for his heart, David developed pneumonia and COVID-19. He was transferred to Kindred Hospital with a tracheostomy tube, ventilator, and feeding tube. At Kindred, David's care team got to work liberating him from the ventilator, and helping him move and eat on his own again. Within a week, he was up and moving around and was soo discharged home.

“I would not be where I am today if it weren’t for the great team at Kindred.” After a complicated colostomy, Renee went into cardiac arrest and needed a ventilator to help her breathe. She was transferred to Kindred Hospital Northland where she was liberated from the ventilator and regained her mobility.

After undergoing multiple heart surgeries, Lothar came to Kindred Hospital Santa Ana for ventilator weaning, wound care, and dialysis. With the help of his multidisciplinary team, Lothar recovered and regained his independence.

Dolores had scheduled extensive cardiac surgery, she required an aortic balloon pump and ECMO support, which led to a hospital stay of over 30 days. Following her hospital stay, Dolores was admitted to Kindred Hospital San Antonio Central for comprehensive rehabilitation that included both physical and occupational therapy. Upon her admission, the interdisciplinary team crafted a personalized care plan tailored to Dolores's medical condition, with the primary goal of getting her back on her feet. Given Dolores's heart condition, the team understood the importance of starting her rehabilitation slowly to avoid overworking her heart. After making significant progress at Kindred, Dolores was discharged to a lower level of care at an Acute Rehabilitation Unit (ARU) facility to continue her rehabilitation. At the ARU, she will continue to receive specialized physical and occupational therapy. From the entire staff at Kindred, we wish her all the success in her recovery.

Abdul was admitted to Kindred Acute Rehab in Havertown in May after a complex hospital course beginning in early March. Before arriving at our Acute Rehab facility, Abdul was admitted to the previous hospital after a cardiac event requiring surgery. This resulted in him needing a tracheostomy (trach) placed for ventilatory support due to hypoxia. Abdul also required a feeding tube placed for his nutritional needs. When first admitted, Abdul required the maximum assistance of two staff members for all activities. When he was discharged approximately 12 days later, he ambulated with a walker for short to moderate distances. He was also able to perform activities of daily living with minimal assistance from staff and made excellent progress on speech, language and cognitive goals. He made such great progress with therapy that he was discharged home with his wife. Congratulations to Abdul for all his accomplishments throughout his recovery process.
