Kindred Transitional Care and Rehabilitation – Lafayette

Hmmmm… let’s see, one star, or two, it IS a tossup… Physical Therapy on the rehab side was good. While there seems to be better care on the rehab side of Lafayette, it still suffers from this seemingly low budget National Corporation. There seems to be a lot of cutting corners for profit here, the same kind that I would expect from a small start up company. There have been many senior staff managers who come, and then leave, including executives, I imagine from frustration of not enough support to run this facility properly Make sure you have a cell phone, as there is only one (1) inexpensive cordless phone for all residents to use. Not only does it not work well, (static so bad that conversations cannot be understood) but you will find many dropped calls. Make sure you read ALL of the reviews, including the 6 not recommending. Good facilities of this type are difficult to find, and when you do, there will be a waiting list, It is a unfortunate fact, and is festered by big business who are looking for a easy, fast profit.

The only good thing that they did was clean him every other hour. But other than that it seemed like they couldn’t care less about him. He was complaining about discomfort where he had a penal catheter and they ignored it. Well, when they replaced it, they actually put it in wrong and it was causing his urine to go inside of his body. When we noticed that he hadn’t peed at all one day we alerted the technicians and they acted like it was normal. Well we finally took him to the hospital against their recommendations and they immediately admitted him into ICU. This was because his potassium was SO high he could have went into cardiac arrest at any moment. The doctor also said that if we wouldv’e let him sit there he would not have made it two more days. He WILL NOT go back to this horrible place.
