David's Success Story
From Kindred Hospital Albuquerque
David faced a life-altering motor vehicle accident, leading him to the emergency room in Albuquerque. His injuries were numerous and severe, necessitating the immediate use of a ventilator. Upon admission to Kindred Hospital Albuquerque, David presented with significant external head trauma, multiple fractures, and various abrasions covering his body. The expert team at Kindred, consisting of wound care specialists, physical and occupational therapists, as well as a dedicated nutrition support team, came together to formulate a comprehensive care plan.
Throughout his resilient journey spanning over four weeks, David's progress was nothing short of extraordinary. Although he still relied on substantial assistance for activities of daily living (ADLs) due to weakness in his extremities and non-weight bearing status in one of his lower limbs, hope continued to shine through. Thanks to the wound care team, David's injuries steadily healed, reaching an astonishing 94% closure during his stay. His unwavering motivation and commitment to the rigorous care plan set by the interdisciplinary team propelled him to astounding achievements in just three weeks. With little assistance, he was able to stand and perform general ADLs, achieving an upgrade to weight bearing status with the aid of a walker, a monumental leap from his prior condition. David's progress extended to his dietary intake, as he transitioned to a normal diet, providing his body with the essential nutrition it needed for optimal healing. His cognitive deficits, too, exhibited remarkable improvements.
One achievement after another marked David's triumphant path to recovery, as he consistently met and exceeded the goals set in his care plan. His remarkable progress indicated that he was ready to return to the comfort of his home. From the entire staff at Kindred, we wish him all the success in his recovery.
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.
