Kindred Hospital Las Vegas – Flamingo

It is horrible. I can’t really add anything to the other reviews, because they have covered it all. I brought my wife home after one day. A «1» is a generous rating, but there isn’t a zero available.

Avoid at all costs. The healthcare staff is negligent, rough, and careless. They left my dad in his feces and urine for hours. They take more than an hour to respond to patient calls, and that’s if they remembered to leave the button with them. One nurse gave him food when he couldn’t eat and he almost choked to death and it went into his lungs. They left him upright while he was vomiting causing him to choke on his own vomit and for it to go into his lungs leading to the emergency room and then hospice within two days. Then they came after everything he owned to pay the cost of in essence torturing him and killing him. NV medical malpractice laws prevent any meaningful lawsuit in this case so there is nothing I can do but maybe write this review and prevent it from happening to someone else.

No good. Dingy and warn out facility. My father got admitted here last night as a rehab patient and from the minute my family and I arrived here with him, it just rubbed us the wrong way. The room is very barren, the bed is old and my dad says its not comfortable at all. The room he is in doesn’t even have blinds/​curtains! There is one very old chair in the room. He arrived at 845pm last night and it took over 2 hours from his arrival for the nurse to come see him. My dad pressed the call button and nobody came for over 25 minutes. While my mother and I were standing in the hallway, the charge nurse stormed down the hallway hysterically crying. We asked one of the CNAs what happened and they said she had over 25 patients under her and she was very stressed out. Not very professional and very alarming to witness. They didn’t have any of my fathers medications prepared to dispense to him and said they hadn’t even ordered it yet and they use an offsite pharmacy and it could take a few hours to get it delivered, meanwhile my dad was in excruciating pain. We left my dad at midnight and he had still not received his medication.
First thing this morning we got on the phone with the insurance company and are moving him tomorrow to a much better quality facility, we can’t wait.
Bottom line:
Whatever you do, don’t allow your loved ones to come here.

Zero stars the nurses just yes you to death and nothing gets done. Case and social work staff say that I will look into it and never come back. It took my roommate close to 2 hours to get her pain medication, everybody she asked said that they would tell the med nurse and nothing happens. I was kept out of the loop on my care and doctor would consistently talk over me and interrupt me if I was trying to say something he did not want to hear, had the attitude of I am man, I am doctor, I am god, what you have to say is not important. I had spasms in my back and leg, it took him 2 days to show up. That was when he was able to fit me in. I was released yesterday unable to use a cane with leg still to weak to support weight and my apartment to small to safely manage a walker in so left with no equipment hopping on one foot. They did not report to insurance company that a walker would not work in my apartment, just what wonderful progress I was making so insurance had no real clue and would not extend stay. Takes nursing staff a average of 30 minutes or more to answer bells. Physical therapy staff is good when they have time to get to you. They are usually working with up to 4 patients at one time and spent most of my time waiting for them to get back to me.

Kindred Flamingo has the best physical therapy department. Janet, Todd, Bryan, Kristen, Pam, Ross and the rest of the crew changed my life
Other areas of the facility are on the poor side. They have some great nurses aides but there given many patients and working two separate halls which disables them from helping each patient. Several of the nurses speak Pilipino on the floor which is unprofessional but very common
I rang for help for morning meds from 8:30 till 11:20 one morning and then went and asked Fannie the charge nurse who was my nurse she just ignores me
That is common in this facility. I found out I was not placed on any of the nurses paperwork as a patient to administer my meds for thus day Fannie never apologized not do I believe we’re there any ramifications for her very unprofessional actions.
Management wants to blame there staff but let’s face it, your staff is a direct reflection of your management skills

My mother was just released from the rehab part of the hospital yesterday. The doctor and the PA made sure that all of her paperwork was done the night before so she could go home yesterday morning. When she woke up yesterday morning no one said anything to her about her being discharged. She waited until about 2pm and then asked if she was getting discharged it took her until 430pm to finally get an answer from her caseworker that she was able to go home. When the doctor and PA found out that she was still there they notified her that she should have left that morning. The caseworker did not give her any prescriptions to refill the medications she is taking, she also didn’t send in the paperwork for my mom get her nebulizer sent to her house. The caseworker never gave her a paper that says she can go back to work either. While my mom was sitting in the caseworkers office waiting to be discharged the caseworker was also discharging 3 other people. So far today I have tried to contact the DON and never got a return call. I have also called the Chief Executive Office and have not received a call back yet. Left two messages with the caseworker and finally called and talked to someone who transferred me to the nurses station where I was able to talk to the PA and she told me that they turned the prescriptions into the caseworker and that she will be sending them over to the pharmacy so my mom can have her meds. Hopefully something can get done to where they can treat their patients better when they are there and when they release them. I will never let my mom or another person I know go back to this hospital! My mom said that the only thing that she liked there was the Rehab workers and the CNA’s Anabella, Gemma and Sandra and there was one other that she forgot her name. The RN Leslie and her doctor.

This is a horribile place!!! if you have to bring your love ones here GOOD LUCK. When my family member was brought here I noticed the room (which was empty) was so dirty, I had to wipe everything down. thats unacceptable.
The charge nurses were nasty and spoke down to everyone and couldn’t be bothered, and we’re incompetent
The only ones that deserve any praise here are the CNAs. they were the best so I would give only them 5 stars
You been warned

This the worst hospital I have ever been in. The food is nothing but frozen meals that are reheated and most times, the meals are 1\2 hour to an hour late. It was so bad, that my family was bringing in all my meals. You have to constantly check with the staff about outside appointments. Often they forget to schedule them or schedule them at the wrong time. Twice I was late being transported back to a hospital for treatment. Once I was so late I had to reschedule. Ten percent ofthe nursing staff actually care. I have a food allergy to eggs and kept being serve redeggs. I finally just asked for toast which was usually burned and cold. Most meals were served with canned fruit which never ferried. I often waited for almost a half hour before anyone answered the call button and then told my can was busy and would be in soon. This usually happened on weekend nights. If you speak with management, they always tell you they will look into it, but never gets back to you. If you or your family need rehap care, do not go to Kindred. This used to be a good facility, but not any more. They need to change the management. Until then, avoid this place at all costs.

If I could give this Zero stars i would… My mom was in Centennial Hills Hospital for a couple of weeks becasue she had pneumonia. She also had pulmonary fibrosis. She was getting much bertter and Centennial said that she needed to be in a nursing facility as she could get better care and physical therapy. They transferred her to Kindred Hospital. 3 days later she was put in intesive and 2 days later she was DEAD!!! The place was digustingly dirty and even asked the nurses the first 2 days when they were going to clean the filthy bathroom… pee and poop on the seat. If you have a loved one,…insist on them staying right where they are till they can come home. I kept asking about her medications and could never get a straight answer. I do not believe they gave her what she needed. They were so anxious to get a DO NOT RESUSITATE signature from her or us. It was creepy!!.

All of the employees were very friendly, nice, and helpful to my Gma. The head nurse Karen is awesome too. =D
