Ronald was admitted to the hospital with a severe foot wound and was advised to get it
amputated. After receiving wound care, Ronald was able to go home and receive home health
care to save his foot. "They cared and helped make me care."
My foot was cut, all the way up. The hospital said I should have the foot cut off. I didn’t
want to lose the foot and that’s when the nurse told me about Kindred.
We are preparing them for the next level. They’re not quite ready to go home, they’re
not quite ready to go to the nursing home. We give them that extra help that they need
and we look at all systems. We don’t just focus on the wound care. We focus on the whole
patient.
They cared and helped make me care and basically saved my foot, and then when I got out of
there home health care came to my home three times a week - visited me, took care of the
foot, did an excellent job.
I am very pleased and proud that we have come this far and been able to heal this wound
that virtually the doctor said he was going to lose the foot over. It’s amazing and
without him having the forethought and the determination to do everything he needed to
do I don’t know that the outcome would have ben this good.
It’s unbelievable the progress that was made.
