Kaiser Foundation Hospital – Redwood City

My daughter ended up in the hospital here. They were very nice, helpful and awesome! Everyone from Dr., Nurse, Lab, Housekeeping and food service plus any others I forgot thank you for everything you've done for my daughter.

I had Brain surgery five years ago and I am fully recovered and healthy. Thank you Kaiser!

This facility is somewhat new compared to, say, the Fremont Kaiser. The staffs, nurses especially, seem to be a lot more thoughtful here. The room in the ICU has a good size and has a fold out bed from the couch to allow family to sleep over. Its official parking lot across from the ER entrance is a bit small so finding a space there may require some luck. Street parking is next best option if you don't want to walk too far.

if these people suspect that you might be homeless then you will be thrown out. This hospital needs to be shut down so a hospital that treats all people can be built instead

Update: Kaiser may give all nurses an “orientation” prior to working independently, but it doesn’t mean it’s actually adequate and I know for a fact that Kaiser often does one day orientations when nurses float to other floors. In addition, I was told by the nurses there that Kaiser was NOTTT giving orientation and trying to force their mother and baby nurses to the ED/ICU. Which is incredibly ludicrous and unsafe, and not patient centered care. Finally, Kaiser’s “nursing competency education” has little to do with actually learning and becoming a better nurse; their version of annual required education has to do with learning how to use their algorithms for assessing patients, versus actually learning critical thinking skills and anticipating abnormal changes in patients. **** The food was pretty good. The nursing care was abysmal. If Member Services writes after this that I should reach out and speak to them, it's insincere. I already contacted them twice because each time they've butchered what I called about. The poor communication between nurses, the lack of quality of care by nurses that ultimately led to me having complications. Kaiser is fine if you don't actually get sick, or have normal deliveries/diagnoses, but that's it. Don't expect your nurses to advocate for you. Oh yeah, Kaiser has also been pushing their L&D/mother and baby nurses to work into the adult ED/ICU without properly training them... is that who you'd like taking care of your family members?
