SATISFACTION SURVEY
Kaymar is driven by the primary goal of addressing a patient’s needs to effect measurable, functional changes in their status to that they may participate in life as fully as possible. It is not possible to achieve improved independence and safety without using a patient-centred approach.
All care plans are developed with patients in an open, transparent and respectful manner. Additionally, Kaymar sources information on patient satisfaction and feedback on direct therapy through our Patient Satisfaction Surveys.
