When Kujtim arrived at Kindred Hospital, he required wound care, respiratory therapy, rehabilitation, and dietary care. After working with his interdisciplinary care team, he was able to discharge to home.
A Patient Success Story from Kindred Hospital New Jersey - Morris County
Kujtim suffered respiratory failure that required intubation, along with gastrointestinal bleeding.
AT ADMISSION
Kujtim also had diabetes and a femoral deep vein thrombosis (blood clot). He required dialysis, a tracheostomy, and an IVC filter, a device that helps prevent blood clots from reaching the lungs.
TREATMENT AT KINDRED
At Kindred Hospital New Jersey – Morris County, Kujtim received nursing, rehabilitation, wound, respiratory, and dietary care. He received IV antibiotics, came off oxygen, and had his tracheostomy removed. He progressed to walking 400 feet with a walker, and all but one head wound healed.
OUTCOME
After 51 days, Kujtim was discharged home with his wife. He looked forward to rejoining his loved ones and returning to his family’s pizzeria.
“The staff here treated us like family and helped us in more ways than we ever expected.”
