Kindred at Home

It takes some time for your stomach to tell your brain it's full. This holiday season, avoid overeating by taking a 10-minute break after your first serving of food. You just may realize you've had enough.

Are you a nurse who’s independent, adaptive--and passionate about providing clinically innovative healthcare? Kindred at Home is looking for RNs and nursing assistants to provide compassionate care and extraordinary service to the patients and families we serve. Call 855-KND-AT-HOME or visit our careers page at www.kindredathome.com/careers.

To those who celebrate the festival of lights, may you feel their warmth throughout the year.

We can help ensure that delay doesn’t turn into decline. Partner with Kindred at Home to bring care to your patients’ homes. We can even help your patient participate in a telehealth visit during a skilled visit.

Thank you to everyone who works tirelessly to make sure people receive the care they need in the safety and comfort of home, especially to everyone in the Kindred at Home family. Your care and courage change lives! #homecarehospicemonth
