About Our Hospital
Kindred Hospital White Rock is a 25-bed, long-term acute care specialty hospital that is fully accredited by The Joint Commission, licensed by the State of Texas and certified for participation in the Medicare/Medicaid programs.
We provide specialized medical services 24 hours a day, seven days a week to the medically complex and catastrophically ill patient. It is not unusual to admit patients who are referred from intensive care units of short-term acute hospitals that require some type of life support (i.e., mechanical ventilation). These patients are referred to us for our proven outcomes regarding weaning from mechanical ventilation.
Kindred Hospital White Rock is unique in that we are a Hospital within a Hospital conveniently located inside a 228-bed medical-surgical acute care hospital with three medical office buildings on its campus. Because of Kindred White Rock’s unique location, our patients have access to emergent and critical intensive care services as well as technically advanced diagnostic services without having to be transferred to an off-site facility.
The most common diagnosis of patients admitted to our care include:
- respiratory failure with ventilator dependence
- chronic obstructive pulmonary disease
- respiratory infections with inflammation
- pulmonary edema with respiratory failure
- uncontrolled diabetes
- kidney/renal failure and dialysis treatment
- skin ulcers
- skin grafting and/or debridement of skin ulcers
- infectious diseases – MRSA/VRE/ESBL
- cerebral vascular accidents pre-rehabilitation
