Elaine's Success Story
"My nurse, Roy, was awesome, and the CNA, Robert, talked me through and stayed with me when I was feeling anxious.”
- Elaine
Elaine was admitted to Kindred Hospital Bay Area Tampa on Feb 26th, after a complicated hospital stay due to sepsis and respiratory failure. She required respiratory support with supplemental oxygen through a tracheostomy, nutrition through a feeding tube and was dependent with all activities of daily living (ADLs) and mobility.
During her time at Kindred, she worked hard with the respiratory and rehabilitation teams and started to regain her independence. She was able to wean from oxygen and was decannulated. She regained the ability to eat an oral diet and no longer needed a feeding tube. Elaine progressed with her mobility, making big strides towards regaining her independence. She has a goal to go on 35 cruises this year and we are so happy we could be a part of her journey to get well and start cruising again!
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.
