KINDRED HEALTHCARE, INC
Kindred Healthcare, Inc. is the former name of the legal entity that now exists as Kindred Healthcare, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company with Delaware file number 2875922 and Kentucky organization number 0462709. The Kentucky Secretary of State lists it as active, in good standing, with its principal office at 680 South Fourth Street, Louisville, Kentucky 40202 and its last annual report filed on 24 March 2026. The company was incorporated in Delaware on 27 March 1998 as a corporation, ahead of the spin-off of the healthcare operations of Vencor (now Ventas). Kentucky’s register records Vencor, Inc. as an earlier name of the same organization number.
Kentucky’s date of 28 September 1998 is when the company was authorised to do business in Kentucky as a foreign entity. It is not the date it was formed. The 2021-01-01 date and the “Public Limited Company” form on this page’s card are not supported by any register or filing reviewed.
Kindred Healthcare, Inc. was listed on the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker KND until the merger completed on 2 July 2018, when the shares were delisted. Its Form 8-K of the same day states that, immediately after the merger, the company converted into a Delaware limited liability company and changed its name to Kindred Healthcare, LLC. It then filed a Form 15 on 12 July 2018, which ended its SEC reporting. Kentucky recorded the conversion and the name change on 11 October 2018.
Its last annual report on Form 10-K covered 2017. It described a healthcare services company that, through subsidiaries, ran three businesses at 31 December 2017:
- a home health, hospice and community care business from 608 sites in 40 states;
- 75 transitional care hospitals in 17 states, certified as long-term acute care hospitals under Medicare;
- a rehabilitation division with 19 inpatient rehabilitation hospitals and 99 hospital-based rehabilitation units, providing services in 45 states.
Consolidated 2017 revenues were $6,034.1 million, and the loss attributable to the company was $698.4 million. At the end of 2017 it reported about 43,100 full-time and 42,200 part-time and per diem employees. These are group-level consolidated figures, and no later financial statements for the entity are public.
The home health and hospice business was separated from the company on 2 July 2018. On 23 December 2021 LifePoint Health announced that it had completed its transaction with Kindred Healthcare. On the same date ScionHealth launched with 61 long-term acute care hospitals that it described as previously owned by Kindred. Both stored website domains, kindredhealthcare.com and kindredhealthcare.us, now redirect to kindredhospitals.com. The terms of use on that site are issued by Knight Health Holdings, LLC under the name ScionHealth.

Shareholders
Shareholders of Kindred Healthcare, Inc.
Kindred Healthcare, Inc. no longer has shareholders. On 2 July 2018 it became Kindred Healthcare, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, so its owners are members holding membership interests. The Kentucky Secretary of State’s current officers panel for organization number 0462709 lists one member: Kentucky Hospital Intermediate, LLC. This matches the company’s Form 8-K of 2 July 2018. The 8-K says Kentucky Homecare Intermediate, Inc. was the first member after the conversion. After a second merger the same day, Kentucky Hospital Intermediate LLC became the “new sole member” under an amended and restated LLC agreement. At that date the 8-K described the company as an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Kentucky Hospital Holdings, LLC, which affiliates of TPG Global, LLC and Welsh, Carson, Anderson & Stowe XII, L.P. controlled. The Form 15 of 12 July 2018 gave the number of holders of record of the former common stock as one (1). The institutional holders that filed on Kindred before 2018 held shares that were cancelled in the merger for $9.00 each in cash. None of them is a current holder.
Ultimate beneficial ownership
No natural person can be identified as a beneficial owner. A corporate disclosure statement that Kindred Healthcare, LLC filed in a federal court case on 27 December 2023 names Apollo Global Management, Inc. as its corporate parent. The court’s docket entry also lists Kentucky Hospital Holdings, LLC, Kentucky Hospital Intermediate, LLC and five Kentucky Hospital Holdings and Knight Health entities as affiliates. Neither the docket entry nor any other source reviewed gives the percentages through that chain, so no effective ownership has been calculated.
Data availability
Availability: Partial. Kentucky publishes the member of record, and the 2018 SEC filings give the chain as it stood at that date. No percentages after 2018 are public. Under FinCEN’s final rule of 11 August 2026, effective 14 August 2026, entities created in the United States are exempt from beneficial ownership reporting, so no such filing exists for this company. The stored shareholder field holds only a generic United States notice and no holder data.

Officers
Directors and officers of Kindred Healthcare, Inc.
Kindred Healthcare, Inc. has had no board of directors since 2 July 2018, when it converted into Kindred Healthcare, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company. The current officers panel of the Kentucky Secretary of State for organization number 0462709 contains one entry. That entry is the corporate member, Kentucky Hospital Intermediate, LLC, with the title “Member”. The register names no individual manager or officer for the company. This entry reflects the annual reports on file, the latest dated 24 March 2026.
The last officer appointments in a public filing are in the Form 8-K of 2 July 2018. When the merger took effect, the eleven directors of the listed company stopped serving. After the conversion, James T. Flowers, Joel W. Day and Joseph L. Landenwich were appointed managers of Kindred Healthcare, LLC. The 8-K spells the last name “Landenwhich” in that item and “Landenwich” in its signature block. The new officers named were Benjamin A. Breier (President and Chief Executive Officer), John J. Lucchese (Chief Financial Officer), Stephen R. Cunanan (Chief Administrative Officer and Chief People Officer) and William M. Altman (Executive President, Strategy and Chief of Staff). The company stopped SEC reporting on 12 July 2018. No later filing confirms whether any of these people still holds office, so they are historical appointments, not current officers.
Recent officer changes
- 2 July 2018: the eleven members of the board of the listed company stopped serving as directors when the merger took effect (Form 8-K, Item 5.02).
- 2 July 2018: after the conversion to a limited liability company, three managers were appointed (Form 8-K, Item 5.02).
- 2 July 2018: a new slate of officers was appointed, led by Benjamin A. Breier as President and Chief Executive Officer (Form 8-K, Item 5.02).
Data availability
Availability: Historical. Kentucky’s register shows the member of record but no individual officers. The last named managers and officers are from a 2018 SEC filing, and neither source discloses nationality. One stored note on this page says officer data is not available in this jurisdiction. That is wrong, because Kentucky publishes a current officers panel built from annual reports, and it is the panel cited here.

Group Structure
Group structure of Kindred Healthcare, Inc.
Kindred Healthcare, Inc., now Kindred Healthcare, LLC, belongs to a privately held group. Its immediate parent is its sole member, Kentucky Hospital Intermediate, LLC (Kentucky register; 8-K of 2 July 2018). At that date the 8-K described the company as an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Kentucky Hospital Holdings, LLC.
The most recent statement of the group above the company comes from a corporate disclosure in federal court on 27 December 2023. It names Apollo Global Management, Inc. as corporate parent and lists the Kentucky Hospital Holdings and Knight Health entities as affiliates. A 15 April 2025 disclosure by Kindred Hospitals East, L.L.C. adds Knight Parent, L.P. and Apollo investment fund entities to that list. The docket entries do not give the order of ownership between these entities, and no Lifepoint entity appears in either one.
On the subsidiary side, Kindred Healthcare Operating, LLC (Kentucky organization number 0459341) is a verified direct subsidiary. In 2019 it named Kindred Healthcare, LLC as its corporate parent in court. The company’s last published subsidiary list is the Exhibit 21 to its 2017 Form 10-K, and it covers a United States group plus Cornerstone Insurance Company in the Cayman Islands.

- 2 July 2018: Kentucky Hospital Intermediate LLC became the sole member through a second merger the same day (Form 8-K, Item 5.03).
- 23 December 2021: LifePoint Health announced that its transaction with Kindred Healthcare was complete, and ScionHealth launched with 61 long-term acute care hospitals previously owned by Kindred. The announcements do not describe the legal steps for this entity.
Data availability
Availability: Partial. The parent chain comes from the Kentucky register, 2018 SEC filings and court docket text. No percentages are published after 2018, and the subsidiary list was last filed for 2017. The stored group tree on the duplicate page for this company (post 107047) has two errors. It puts the company directly under Lifepoint Health, Inc., which neither court disclosure names. It also labels the Delaware file number 2875922 as a Kentucky number.
