Kindred Hospital New Jersey - Morris County

"Mom was too happy. She missed the other place where she was. More comfortable with staff and bed."

"I can only applaud and highly commend the work of Kindred at St. Clare's in Dover. I am the caretaker for my friend, retired Lt. Colonel, who came to Kindred on a ventilator and feeding tube. The care he received at Kindred was nothing but extraordinary. In particular, the care he received from the doctor-in-charge, nurses, aides, physical therapists, respiratory therapists, and speech therapists worked was so extensive, professional, and respectful that he was able to leave Kindred without a ventilator, speaking well, eating normally, and overall healthier/stronger. His spirits are renewed despite the ordeals he went through during his respiratory distress. For me as caretaker, I was constantly assured and reassured for his care and attention. I also appreciated the efforts and time spent with me in finding an ideal transfer institution for him upon his discharge. Finally, a shout out for Risha, the patient relations representative. Thanks to her I always had a constant "companion" in insuring the care of my dear friend. Kudos to an excellent medical facility that is committed to compassionate care and recovery."

"I am 53 and suffered a stroke just before Halloween and spent about a month in my hometown hospital in NY. It came to a point that I needed to be transferred to a facility that can offer more precise care. Kindred is absolutely the perfect spot. I'm getting 24/7 attention and many delicious meals. They've been taking care of all my needs and trust me there are many. I'm hoping to be walking again in a few weeks and even if I'm not I know I'll be getting the best care here. -Mike Colvin"

"I recently spent time at Kindred Hospital, primarily to receive a 4-week regimen of a daily intravenous antibiotic and an antifungal to treat a liver abscess. My ordeal began at another hospital, St. Peter's in New Brunswick, where I had been through a lot. I was admitted there a few weeks earlier, feeling very ill. Long story short, my gall bladder was removed, I became septic, went into Atrial fibrillation, my kidneys began to fail, I was put on dialysis and an abscess was discovered in my liver. I began to recover slowly and was sent to Kindred for the intravenous liver abscess treatments and was also expected to continue dialysis there. I credit the nephrologist at Kindred, who's name escapes me now, for recognizing that my kidney functions were coming back strong and that dialysis would no longer be necessary. I would also like to give a shoutout to my occupational and physical therapists (hope I have their names right), Charlene, Natalia, Tori and Scott, who helped me to eventually be able to "race" around the halls on my own two feet (without the aid of a net). Further thanks go to all the fantastic nurses and assistants, cafeteria workers (Thanks, Patty!), housekeepers and the maintenance guys, who made some repairs in my room. I want to particularly mention a few of the nurses who went the extra mile caring for me. Nurse Donna was great! She knows how to get things done! I asked Nurse Cheryl if she could mail a letter for me (I'd heard there was a mailbox downstairs) and she offered to go to the post office for me! Nurse Natalia was the first nurse I met when I arrived around midnight and she was very caring and put me at ease. Assistant "Ligi" was very sweet and helped me stay clean and got me whatever I needed. I met many nurses and assistants during my stay and they were overall very professional and caring. I even met the CEO (Andrew?), who seemed to be a very nice guy. I'll close by saying that if you have to be in a hospital, I highly recommend Kindred Hospital!"

"I spent 57 days here. The doctors and therapist were great. Shout out to Natalie. Bruno and OT , Speech. Most of the nurses were amazing. A great place saved me life and helped me back to the living. Praise the Lord"
