Owned by JN Waukesha LLC, Kensington Care and Rehab Center is a nursing home in Waukesha, Wisconsin. The 150-bed facility’s location on Kensington Drive is in a car-dependent area. Families can pay through Medicare, Medicaid, and private pay when arranging coverage for rehabilitation stays and ongoing nursing care.
The home’s major focus is clinical rehabilitation. Orthopedic and post-surgical care are available. The facility also provides cardiac rehabilitation, neuro and stroke care, pulmonary care, renal care, bariatric care, and psychological or psychiatric support. Because of that broad clinical range, the community is able to serve residents recovering from surgery, hospitalization, or significant medical events that require skilled nursing and therapy services.
Residents stay an average of about 102 days, which means there’s a steady population of post-acute rehabilitation residents moving through recovery.
Nurse staffing averages 3 hours and 21 minutes per resident each day. Registered nurses, nurse aides, and licensed practical nurses contribute to that care. Hands-on assistance and clinical monitoring are also part of the daily routine. The facility also offers respite care for families who need temporary placement for a loved one.
The facility’s current occupancy rate is 54%, with 81 residents across its beds. That operating level may provide greater flexibility in bed availability and care scheduling than facilities operating near full capacity.
Kensington Care and Rehab Center is legally operated by Christine Klekamp.
