Overview of Kentmere Rehabilitation and Healthcare Center

Kentmere Rehabilitation and Healthcare Center is a 104-bed nursing home on Lovering Avenue in Wilmington, Delaware. The building usually operates at around 90 percent occupancy, with residents staying for an average of 177 days. This timeline shows that the floor team splits its time between short-term post-hospital therapy and long-term medical placement. For billing, families can coordinate payments through traditional Medicare, state Medicaid, or private accounts.

The surrounding neighborhood is highly walkable, allowing visitors to easily run errands or get around on foot. Inside the facility, residents get about 4 hours and 17 minutes of direct nursing attention every day. A full-time doctor is on staff, and a 24-hour crew of RNs, LPNs, and aides manages the care plans. Daily life includes restaurant-style dining, a therapy gym, private or semi-private rooms, and a hair salon. The activity calendar features art classes, happy hours, and scheduled transport for medical appointments and group outings.

State regulatory records show no active health or safety citations for the facility, resulting in a current inspection deficiency rate of zero. Interested individuals can call the main intake office to check on current bed availability, ask about the scheduling for therapy sessions, or book a time to come tour the building.

Standout metric Nurse Aide is +8% above state avg
Staff typeHours / Day / Residentvs state avg
Registered Nurse (RN) Info RNs hold the highest nursing license and can assess residents, interpret test results, and direct care plans. More RN hours per day often signals stronger clinical oversight and faster response to health changes. 57m per day ▼ 8% State avg: 1h 2m per day · National avg: 41m per day
LPN / LVN Info Licensed Practical Nurses (LPNs) or Licensed Vocational Nurses (LVNs) deliver routine hands-on care — medication administration, wound dressing, and monitoring vital signs. They work under RN supervision and make up a large share of daily bedside care. 54m per day ▼ 11% State avg: 1h 1m per day · National avg: 52m per day
Nurse Aide Info Certified Nurse Aides (CNAs) provide the most direct day-to-day assistance: bathing, dressing, feeding, and mobility. Nurse aide hours are typically the largest staffing category and directly affect residents' quality of life. 2h 40m per day ▲ 8% State avg: 2h 28m per day · National avg: 2h 21m per day
Weekend Total Nursing Info Combined nursing hours (RN + LPN + Nurse Aide) per resident per day on weekends. Staffing often drops on weekends — this figure reveals whether the facility maintains adequate coverage outside of weekday hours. 4h 6m per day ■ Avg State avg: 4h 2m per day · National avg: 3h 26m per day
Physical Therapist Info Hours per resident per day provided by licensed Physical Therapists (PTs) or PT Assistants. PT services help residents recover mobility after injury or illness and are especially important for post-acute (short-stay) rehabilitation. 4m per day ▼ 54% State avg: 9m per day · National avg: 4m per day
Weekend RN Info Registered nurse hours specifically on weekends. Facilities sometimes reduce RN presence on Saturdays and Sundays — a low weekend RN figure compared to weekday hours can indicate reduced clinical oversight when most administrative staff are absent. 37m per day ▼ 14% State avg: 43m per day · National avg: 29m per day
