    Pros

    They provide a much needed service to an increasing population of elderly and homebound patients. Office management tries to create a collaborative and positive environment.

    Cons

    Upper management seems unorganized and they make changes last minute with no planning that throws the office into chaos. Seems to be a constant feel of putting out fires.

    Pros

    Pay, schedule, ot availability, great co workers.

    Cons

    The company is for profit and it shows. It is all about the bottom line and upper management is spineless. This company (ltac sector) is dying and taking its staff with it.

    Kindred Hospital is a horrible place to work!!!!!

    Jan 4, 2015 - LVN in Perris, CA

    CEO Approval
    Business Outlook

    Pros

    I worked in the ICU and the RN's were very supportive and helpful. Pt's are taken care as well as they can be for the amount of nurses there.

    Cons

    Lack of nurses, lack of Nurses aides, lack of support. Smell of urine and feces. Upper management just want to make the bucks and screw their patients and their help. The LVN's are given 8 to 10 patients each. This makes it very hard to give proper care. On your feet for 12 hours and sometimes NO BREAK at all.

    The company was bought from other companies and the staff and policies changed. The office staff was great and would try to help the clients and C.N.A out as much as they could.

    Cons

    Stressful and undermining people from upper management - no raise -no benefits -took away additional pay incentives - does not care about the employees - lack of communication between employees and office - bad turnover -

    Pros

    Upper management does not micro-manage which can be good and not so good.

    Cons

    The PCA reimbursement is a good amount. However the company does not compensate therapists appropriately. In addition, the health insurance for yearly check ups is 3rd rate at best. Also, the PDO's accumulate slowly and paid holidays are a percentage. Lastly, the documentation system is pitifully slow and tailored for SNF settings. Nepotism present in some facilities and some management roles are allowed to behave inappropriately.

    Clinical Liaison

    Apr 7, 2016 - Clinical Liaison in Los Angeles, CA
    Recommend

    Business Outlook

    Pros

    This review only pertains to Kindred Healthcare's contract with this particular hospital's rehab unit. (Kindred' Rehab Division). However, this review particularly pertains to the upper management team (ADO and above) and their treatment of the clinical liaisons. Kindred Healthcare's Hospital Division is very different and may be a good place to work. But Kindred's upper management (ADO and above) doesn't care much about their employees' or patients' welfare. As a matter of fact, many of their upper management members don't have a clinical background. Therefore they lack understanding of what it's like to be on the clinical side and how it is to care for patients.

    Cons

    -Kindred Healthcare had contracted their marketing and management team to a hospital's acute rehab unit -Kindred has unrealistic expectations. The hospital's rehab unit had an ADC of 9 in the rehab unit but Kindred expects their employees to fill all 32 beds -our rehab unit was the worst performing unit in the entire nation with 30+ below the expected budget each month (that's how unrealistic their expectations are!) -they expect you to work as many weekends as possible. When they say they expect you to work one weekend per month, it means you have to work both Saturday and Sunday (even though it may be half-days, it ruins your weekends because you still have to commute there). And you only can have one day off as a complementary day. -ADO and above management are very unsupportive. They try to be "optimistic", which means never admitting their expectations were miscalculated. -promise bonuses if we achieve their expected goals but nobody has ever achieved those goals in the last three years since the inception of the program. -high turnover rate. Average clinical liaison work approximately 6 months prior to resigning. Over 30 clinical liaisons and marketing consultants have been through this program over the last 3 years due to the high turnover rate. -the company loses over $10K per month due to their unrealistic expectations; they choose to stay as a contracted employee with that hospital because they're too stubborn to withdraw their contract. In the process, they create an unhealthy working environment and create immense pressure for all the clinical liaisons to reach their unrealistic goals. -the medical director that Kindred hired to revamp the unit also quit after 6 months due to the corruption and unprofessionalism of the work environment
