S. -based company specializing in providing long-term acute care services to patients with complex medical conditions, emphasizing rehabilitation and recovery processes. Founded in 1985 and headquartered in Louisville, US, Kindred Healthcare, LLC operates specialized hospitals focusing on long-term acute care.

The company has undergone significant restructuring, separating into two entities in July 2018: Kindred Specialty Hospital and Kindred at Home.

The firm's leadership has seen changes, including the departure of Benjamin Breier as CEO post-acquisition. Kindred Hospitals provides long-term acute care (LTAC) for patients with complex medical conditions, including respiratory care, wound care, cardiac care, and medically complex care. Their services are delivered through interdisciplinary care teams, developing tailored treatment plans to meet individual patient needs. With over 50 locations across 16 states, they cater to patients with severe health issues and transition care needs, collaborating with healthcare systems and families.

In 2017, Kindred Hospitals reported revenue of USD 6,034. 12 mn and an EBITDA of USD -11. 35 mn. Their business model relies on contracts with healthcare providers and insurance companies that reimburse for long-term acute care services and specialized treatments.

Following the acquisition by Lifepoint Health, Kindred Healthcare, LLC plans to leverage the USD 1. 5 billion investment to enhance its service offerings and expand into new markets. The focus will be on improving community healthcare resources and expertise. The acquisition completed in October 2021 is expected to facilitate the development of new rehabilitation programs and integrate more advanced technologies in patient care.
