Ricky K's Success Story

Kindred Hospital La Mirada patient Ricky poses with his care team

"All staff were very caring and attentive. They made me feel like their family." Ricky was treated at Kindred Hospital La Mirada for respiratory therapy.  After weaning from the ventilator and regaining mobility, Ricky was discharged home. 

 

After being diagnosed with respiratory failure, Ricky was admitted to Kindred La Mirada with a tracheostomy, 24-hour ventilator support, and a feeding tube. At first, Ricky needed a lot of encouragement to participate in therapy, as he was scared that his oxygen level might drop. He was bedbound and slept most of the time, but with encouragement from the staff and his family, Ricky slowly started participating in rehab. Once he began to see the positive results of it, he continued without hesitation.

After reaching the point of walking 250 feet with minimal oxygen support, Ricky was discharged home.

Care for Complex Conditions

Patients come to our hospitals with serious conditions such as respiratory failure, complex wounds, sepsis, stroke, congestive heart failure, or even a combination of these. Their diagnoses are often complicated by existing health problems like diabetes or COPD. Many of our patients require treatments such as mechanical ventilators, dialysis, or IV therapy.
