Delores's Success Story
Delores experienced serious shortness of breath and was admitted to the hospital where she required breathing assistance and developed an infection. After about a month, she was transferred to Kindred Hospital for IV medication and pulmonary rehabilitation. Delores' condition greatly improved and she was able to advance to an acute rehabilitation facility.
Delores was admitted to the ICU with worsening shortness of breath, a cough and fatigue. There, she required assistance with breathing, treatment for an infection and very close monitoring.
Delores was transferred to Kindred Hospital Louisville about a month later for continued acute care. At Kindred, she received care from a multidisciplinary team, as well as daily physician visits, labs, IV medication and close monitoring. She also participated in the pulmonary rehabilitation program and worked with speech, physical and occupational therapy.
Delores became stronger each day with the support of the Kindred team and her family, who helped her stay positive. Upon discharge to an acute rehabilitation facility, Delores was able to eat by mouth and breathe without assistance.
Delores shared, “I am so used to being independent, I just couldn’t give up. So, I kept fighting. I am looking forward to returning home and just relaxing while spending time with my family.”
