Overview of Kensington Care and Rehab Center

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.

Quality ratings

Measured by Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS)

Overall rating Info The Overall CMS Rating combines results from health inspections, staffing levels and quality measures. Health inspections carry the most weight. Staffing and quality scores can increase or decrease the final rating based on performance compared to state and national standards.
Health Inspection Info Based on the results of the facility's three most recent standard inspections and any complaint investigations. CMS reviews the number, scope, and severity of deficiencies, with more recent findings weighted more heavily.
Staffing Info Measures average nursing staff hours per resident per day, including Registered Nurses (RNs) and total nursing staff. Ratings are adjusted based on the level of care residents require and are compared to state and national benchmarks.
Quality Measures Info Based on clinical and physical health indicators reported to CMS, such as hospital readmissions, falls, pressure ulcers, and improvements in mobility. These measures reflect how well residents' health needs are being managed.

3h 21m per day
Rank #136 / 178Nurse hours — State benchmarkedThis home is ranked 136th out of 178 homes in Wisconsin for Nurse Hours. Shows adjusted nurse hours per resident per day benchmarked to the Wisconsin average, with a ranking across 178 Wisconsin facilities. More hours mean more direct care. The national average is about 3.5 hrs; below 3.0 is a red flag.Facilities with the same value for a metric share the same rank.

vs 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. 28m 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. 1h 5m 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. 1h 56m 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. 3h 10m 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. 2m 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. 21m per day
