My name is Armin. I am a Nurse Manager and I work at Kindred Hospital Rancho. How I define
long-term acute care is it's the same as a short-term acute care but the only difference
is we provide special care for patients that require a lengthened amount of stay in a hospital.
We do provide critical care monitoring, medical and surgical procedures, treatments, wound
care - but we provide specialize care because we use an interdisciplinary approach for reaching
that goal of recovery for our patients.
The most rewarding part of my job working at Kindred is at the end of the day when I
can say to myself that I made a difference in a patient's life. By seeing them go home,
get rehabilitated and giving them hope and helping with their recovery, to me that is
the best part of my day. To give them that bit of hope and understanding that they can
recover from their illness, I think that it adds joy and it adds that positive attitude
with our patients and ultimately helps them with their recovery.
