A Diverse Healthcare Network: Unlocking Career Potential
Kindred Healthcare is more than just a healthcare provider; it’s a network of innovative and specialized care facilities, including transitional care hospitals, inpatient rehabilitation centers, and long-term acute care hospitals. This diverse portfolio allows employees to explore a multitude of career paths, each with its own unique challenges and rewards.
Specialty Care: A Focus on Individual Needs
Kindred’s specialty care services are tailored to meet the complex and often unique needs of patients. Our teams in these areas are at the forefront of innovative care, utilizing advanced technologies and specialized treatments. For instance, our inpatient rehabilitation centers offer intensive therapy services, helping patients regain strength and independence after serious injuries or illnesses. These centers require a diverse range of professionals, from physical and occupational therapists to speech-language pathologists and registered nurses.
Our long-term acute care hospitals specialize in treating patients with complex medical conditions that require extended hospital stays. Here, the focus is on providing comprehensive, patient-centered care, often involving multidisciplinary teams. Roles within these hospitals range from critical care nurses and respiratory therapists to social workers and pharmacists.

Transitional Care: Bridging the Gap
Kindred’s transitional care hospitals serve as a critical link between acute care hospitals and home or long-term care settings. These hospitals specialize in treating patients recovering from serious illnesses or injuries, helping them regain their strength and independence before returning home. The focus is on short-term, intense care, with an emphasis on patient education and preparation for ongoing care.
Professionals in transitional care hospitals play a vital role in patient recovery, working collaboratively to develop and implement personalized care plans. This often involves a mix of skilled nursing, therapy services, and specialized medical care. Roles in these settings can include registered nurses, licensed practical nurses, physical and occupational therapists, and medical technologists.
