Kindred Hospital San Diego

My clinical experience has been amazing so far. The staff has been incredibly welcoming, and I’ve had the opportunity to learn a lot. I’m fortunate to be following Nurse Sam, who is not only knowledgeable but also an excellent mentor. His guidance has helped me build confidence and improve my skills. Additionally, Joshua stands out as the best in patient relations—his ability to connect with patients is truly inspiring. Overall, this experience has been both educational and rewarding, and I’m grateful for the opportunity to learn from such a great team.

When I was admitted to kindred I was barely alive, I can’t say enough good things about this place they took care of me when I couldn’t take care of myself and after a stroke I was not a pleasant person but everyone took such great care of me despite my bad attitude nurses Joe, Kevin, and Lisa were very kind. Cindy at the front desk treated my family like they were her own. Sarah the speech therapist was extremely kind and Cesar the physical therapist was a great guy and got me walking again, Josh the patient advocate was also top notch. Overall to anyone that finds themselves in the position I was in I give this place a ten and they deserve 6 stars ⭐️ ❤️

As a nursing student, I’ve had the opportunity to observe and learn at Kindred Hospital, and I’m thoroughly impressed with this facility. The employees are not only highly knowledgeable but also eager to teach and share their expertise. The patients here receive outstanding care, and the dedication of the staff is evident in every interaction. I feel confident putting my full trust in the nurses at this hospital they truly set the standard for compassionate and professional healthcare. Highly recommended!

The kind, thoughtful, and knowledgeable personnel at Kindred Hospital have shown that professionalism and expertise are still alive and well at Kindred. From the doctors to housekeeping, my wife has been shown nothing but the best care and respect of being listened to. These nurses, CNA's, kitchen staff, housekeeping, ICU staff, and security personnel have become like family because they really do care so much, my wife is not just another person to be dealt with, but a person who needs TLC to get back on the road to recovery. I would certainly recommend this facility if you are looking for genuine medical assistance for your love ones. I pray that once we leave this wonderful facility that we won't need to return, but if that happens, we know that we will be welcome back with open arms along with the smiles that each worker always shows even if they are having a stressful day. I can honestly say that my wife, daughter, and I have been shown nothing but respect, sincere listening, and a shoulder for us to lean on during stressful days. These people deserve more pay because I know that they truly earn every dollar that they are paid . Thanks Kindred!

Four stars due to the fact that there is always room for improvement. Otherwise this is a great place with some really great doctors and staff. The food is really good too! I find myself eagerly awaiting mealtimes! I must say, while there are some great staff members, there are a few exceptional people who call Kindred their place of employment. Alex, of course, ICU guy, is one the of the best human beings that I have ever met. Not only does he provide exceptional care, he does it with a bedside manner unmatched to anyone anywhere. I love him! Many nurses are really great too. Too many to list here, but maybe a future review I can list a few. There are a couple cna's that are really wonderful as well. Diana (day shift), for one. She always makes a point to stop by and say hello even if she's not my cna. She's funny and makes me feel like family here at Kindred. Sherry (night cna) also. She goes above and beyond any expectations regarding her duties as described. She's always happy with a smile on her face. She will make me laugh even when I'm feeling down. She's gentle and kind and I always enjoy having her as my cna. Thank you for listening to my long-winded ramblings. I just felt I needed to make a point of telling all who need to know, how really wonderful Kindred hospital is to receive the care you need. Thanks Kindred!

I give 4 stars because there have been really good nurses & CNA's I've dealt with however 1 thing I have an issue with is that the room my loved one has js extremely cold & I've asked numerous times to see if they can adjust the temperature & cover the vents, they tell me engineering will take of it but they never show up. As it is it's very uncomfortable being in a hospital, you should listen to the patients & their families when they bring an issue like this to your attention and take care of it ASAP. Thumbs 👎 for engineering & whomever is in charge of them.

Every room has an alarm going off and it seems like the staff is oblivious to it. My husband was in this location because he had his leg amputated. The wound care team is horrible, the leg got infected and he ended up having 4 more surgeries. The room’s AC was broken. The nursing staff din’t help, they had parties with loud music at night. My husband was scared for family to leave him every night!!! The state should really go and take a look at this facility.

It appears this location is understaffed. My brother was found unresponsive and it took over 25 minutes to get assistance: even with a patient that was literally gasping for air. My brother's situation is a sensitive one and he is to be cared for by an RN who is trained to administer medication. I took several pictures of daily medical team board and questioned why he was being cared for by LVN as they are not allowed to administer medication via IV. We requested a family meeting with a case manager and Never received a call or email or visit. He was sent to Scripps Mercy Hospital without a patient packet which delayed appropriate care from medical team at Scripps. It took several times from Scripps and family calling Kindred to get patient packet faxed to Mercy. If this is not patient negligence, I don't know what is. Yes, I would like to share more info with a bot. You have a nurse in the ICU at Kindred trying to tell an elderly mother that she cannot ride in the ambulance with her son who has no ability to speak. She is his voice and she does not drive. The ambulance company does not have anything to do with Kindred and they can make their own decisions. Tell this female-retirement age- nurse in the ICU at Kindred to stay in her lane and not to tell an ambulance company what to do. She should have sent the patient package along with the patient to Scripps Mercy. That would have been actually doing her job! Mercy team waited an hour to get patient package so they could actually treat the patient. So much patient negligence.
